How do you stay motivated and push yourself in training?
I stay motivated by reminding myself of my goals and surrounding myself with positive people. I'm lucky to have some amazing boys and girls to push against everyday at training to help me.
Many athletes have pre-game rituals that help them get into the zone. What are some of your personal pre-game rituals or routines that you believe help you get in the zone before hitting the beach or pool?
I like to go for a body surf at whatever beach we are racing at the day before racing if I get a chance to. I also like to grab dinner with friends the night before.
Reflecting on your career so far, what would you consider as the most memorable or defining moment?
My first Aussies at Alex was pretty special to win the ski relay and board rescue with some of my best friends.
Beyond your athletic pursuits, do you have any hobbies or passions that might surprise people?
I'm studying at uni full time to be a nurse and just starting my 2nd year!
How do you balance your intense training and competition schedule with personal interests outside of your sport?
It's hard to find a balance at the moment and still learning to! Studying full time, training full time and trying to work is definitely a challenge. I'm lucky I have a lot of my friends at uni, work and training so that makes it easier.
What are your top 3 ENGINE products (either for racing or training)?
Santorini one piece, my puffer jacket and googles cases!
