How do you stay motivated and push yourself in training?
I stay motivated by reviewing my goals and having a good balance throughout my sporting and personal life.
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?
My pre race rituals to help me get into the zone would be to listen to pump up music and I wouldn’t say I have a favourite song because it changes all the time.
Reflecting on your career so far, what would you consider as the most memorable or defining moment?
A memorable moment throughout my career so far would definitely be winning the under 15 Matt Barclay Ironman race at the 22/23 state titles.
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?
Winning the overall point score in the summer of surf series for the Ironman then coming second overall in the swim and board definitely impacted my journey as it gave me a lot of confidence for the seasons to come.
Beyond your athletic pursuits, do you have any hobbies or passions that might surprise people?
Other things I like to do from surf lifesaving are surfing and fishing as it really gives a balance throughout my training.
How do you balance your intense training and competition schedule with personal interests outside of your sport?
By going surfing, fishing and hanging out with friends and taking the mind of all the training definitely helps the to keep a balance.
What are your top 3 ENGINE products (either for racing or training)?
Royal Goggles, Puffer Jacket and Iron Jammer 3's.
