Where It All Started
It all started way back when I was a baby, living in the water everyday. Over the years and the uncountable hours spent in the ocean and pool I developed a love for Surf lifesaving. Growing up I have always been very competitive and always pushing myself to the top in the pool and the sea.
The Journey Nobody Sees
Consistency in my training. Turning up everyday and not just going through the motions but actually committing myself to each part of the set. My love for the water has dramatically affected how much I improve each week as a growing athlete.
Your Greatest Moments
My greatest moments go to my Aussie two golds in under 13's and the team events throughout the years. The team events are extra special to me as this is when you represent your club the most and it brings true character in how much you really want it for your team. Our best moments came when we got the gold in the state board relay and when we excelledall our team events the Murphy homes classic where we excelled in everything we went in.
Beyond The Sport
Outside of training I love to surf for hours on end every weekend. I also enjoy playing golf and fishing when the waves aren't good. I often kick the footy with mates and I surf skate from time to time, I can't sit still for long at all without getting bored out of my brains.
