How do you stay motivated and push yourself in training?
I focus on my goals and times I am looking to achieve. The harder I train in the difficult sessions, the faster I will be able to swim and perform on race day.
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 don’t have any particular rituals, however I like to follow my process going into any race. By repeating this process/pattern I have confidence that I can repeat performance.
Reflecting on your career so far, what would you consider as the most memorable or defining moment?
The most memorable moment was winning the U/9 surf race at NSW State Championships. This was the beginning of my love for competition and chasing goals of being the best I possibly can.
Are there any specific achievements or milestones that you are particularly proud of and that you feel have significantly impacted your journey as an athlete?
A specific achievement was coming 4th at Nationals in the 1500m Freestyle at 2023 Championships. I trained hard for it, but I know I have plenty of room to increase my training load. I was proud of 4th which is normally hard to swallow.
The other was my first NSW State Swimming Championships win in the 800m Freestyle at the Short Course Championships 2022.
Beyond your athletic pursuits, do you have any hobbies or passions that might surprise people?
I love playing basketball in downtime between training. I can happily shoot the hoop for hours and lose track of time.
How do you balance your intense training and competition schedule with personal interests outside of your sport?
Surfing is the other thing I like to do to break away from the pool. An environment that is always changing is the perfect mental break from the grind of the swimming pool.
What are your top 3 ENGINE products (either for racing or training)?
Engine Bullet Jammers for racing, Engine briefs for training and the Engine Bullet goggles.
