Team England skeet shooter Amber Hill has insisted that she must push herself and go for gold at the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Hill, who became the youngest winner of the World Cup last year at the age of 16, said that competing at an event so close to home gave her increased motivation to impress in front of family and friends.
"The last year has been amazing for me, I started in Acapulco, the first World Cup I had ever been to," she said. "I only went for the experience but came out winning gold, which was pretty unexpected.
"This is my first big-scale event, I'm here to gain experience and have a good time, but I'll be going for gold. You have to push yourself. I'm using all my competitions as stepping stones to Rio [Olympic Games 2016]. I have to take bits and pieces from all the different competitions I enter.
"Unlike Acapulco it's nice that it's so close to home, my friends and family will be up here supporting me and that gives you an extra edge to do well for them."
Hill was named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2013.
