How I Got Started: At the RBYC summer sailing camp.
How I Train: Overseas on the water six days a week and gym sessions four days a week.
My Diet: As many healthy carbs, proteins, fats and calories as I can make myself eat. I’m in a constant battle to gain weight and replace all the calories that I burn after long days on the water.
How I Got Inspired: I was inspired when I was nine or ten years old by Peter Bromby’s amazing results in the Star class at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. During the entire event, I would be checking the newspaper for his results and I think it was then that the Olympic seed was planted in my head.
Sporting Heroes: The legend Didier Drogba
Ultimate Sporting Goal: To compete in the Olympics.
What I Do in My Free Time: Watch football and do other on-the-water activities.
