• What age did you start playing sport? Tell us about this time or moment in your life.

• What are your favourite sports; those that you practice at a high level, a simple hobby, and a sport that you'd still like to discover?

  My favorite sport is swimming, which I practice at a high level and has been a significant part of my life. As a hobby, I enjoy MMA, particularly disciplines like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, which challenge me in new ways both mentally and physically. A sport I'd love to discover more about is surfing-I think it would be an exciting way to combine my love for water and adventure.

• What gives you the motivation and passion to pursue your sport?

The challenges, growth, and sense of accomplishment I get from pushing myself keep my passion alive every day.

• Do you have a sporting achievement that you're particularly proud of?

  My achievements have been rewarding, but it's the challenges that have truly shaped me. Every single time I've faced adversity, it's pushed me to grow, improve, and come back stronger, making me a better athlete and person.

• If you had to go for a jog with a famous athlete, who would you choose? And what questions would you ask them?

  I'd choose Charles Oliveira for his incredible journey from overcoming childhood health challenges to becoming a UFC champion. I'd ask him how he stayed resilient through adversity, handled setbacks early in his career, and balanced personal life with the demands of elite competition.

• How do you help people stay motivated?

  I help people stay motivated by showing them how quickly they can improve with consistent effort. Seeing progress firsthand boosts their confidence and keeps them excited to push forward.

• What makes you a Superprof in sports?

  What makes me a Superprof in sports is my ability to connect with others, break down complex movements, and create a supportive environment. I focus on helping people build confidence, stay motivated, and enjoy the process of improving their skills.
