How do you stay motivated and push yourself in training?
I stay motivated by focusing on the goals I have set. This pushes me to train hard in every session so I can hopefully achieve those goals.
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?
The night before I usually have the same dinner (pasta). In the morning I listen to music to help me relax.
Reflecting on your career so far, what would you consider as the most memorable or defining moment?
Making my first Nationals for Open Water and Pool in the same year!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?
2023 was definitely a year I was proud of. I swam Nationals for both Open Water and Pool and did PB's in those events.Beyond your athletic pursuits, do you have any hobbies or passions that might surprise people?
I love to spend time with my friends and binge watching the same movies over and over!!!How do you balance your intense training and competition schedule with personal interests outside of your sport?
I make sure I have downtime with my friends outside of sport and in the off season I make sure to make the most of my free time.What are your top 3 ENGINE products (either for racing or training)?
1. Santorini swimmers (in every colour) are my fav togs.
2.The Towels - both the hooded and jacquard.
3.The Engine Backpacks are awesome. They are perfect for training and carnivals as they fit so much in them!
