Our athletes Robyn Love

Robyn Love began her journey into the sport at Edinburgh Napier University. Since first making contact with basketballscotland’s Wheelchair Basketball Development Officer Tina Gordon in November 2013, the Angels of the North player earned an invitation into the GB Women’s Programme within a year of first playing the sport. 

Robyn made her international debut for the GB Women in 2015, assisting the team to silver at the Osaka Cup, Japan. The summer then saw Robyn make her major debut for the GB Women at the 2015 European Championships. The team won bronze and qualified for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, where the women achieved an historic fourth place finish and Robyn made her Paralympic debut. 

Ayr native Robyn was a member of the GB Women’s side who secured a historic silver medal as the 2018 World Championships.

Robyn made history at Birmingham 2022 in the first ever appearance of wheelchair basketball in a Commonwealth Games, proudly representing Team Scotland.

Outside of her playing career, Robyn is an experienced coach of the game who is passionate about helping people to develop their skills.
