- Why this sport?
- I was good at a lot of sports growing up, but I got really hooked on waterskiing. It’s a great social sport where I have made a lot of friends. Skiing still gives me a bigger adrenalin rush than anything else I’ve ever done. I love being out on the water and when you’re competing it all comes down to you and the training you’ve put in.
- How did you get into it?
- Through my parents, they had a boat when I was young and taught me how to ski. I then went on to get some expert coaching which led me to entering my first tournament.
- What next?
- I’m looking forward to the season ahead, I picked up a bad injury last year which meant I could not compete at my best. Despite this I still placed 4th at the European Championships which I would like to better this year
- Any other sports?
- I love all sports but at the moment all my time and effort is put into skiing.
- Favourite event and why?
- It must be the Fat Face London International Night Jump. It is a fantastic event as well as a real spectacle. It attracts a massive crowd, who come to watch the World’s top athletes jumping in the pitch black and doing a bit of Barefoot and Wakeboarding. They also put on a great party.
- Favourite place in the world?
- I have been very lucky to have travelled to a lot of different places while skiing but one of my ambitions is to travel around the world until I find that favourite place. So I’ll have to reserve judgement for a while.
- Training regime?
- During the off season I use the gym 4 times a week combining weights and cardio. When I am training I will ski 3-4 times a day everyday and head to the gym 2-3 evenings a week.
- What makes you good at your sport?
- Dedication sprouting from a constant interest to better myself, discipline and self belief from a young age and I love doing what I do.
- Advice to others wanting to get into the sport?
- Wait until the summer or until it gets warm, its not much fun learning in the cold! Find somewhere to give it a go (there are loads of really good websites) and go try it out.
