How did you first get involved with your sport?
I first got into the sport at college. The volleyball coach wanted people for the team and came to the basketball team so I tried it out.
Describe a typical day/week in your sporting life?
Train three times a day for a weekend once a month. On top of that I train twice a day with weight training on odd days.
What is your earliest memory of competing in your sport?
My earliest memory was the first competition that we entered at the London Youth Games.
There was another guy on the other team who had the same name as me but was already part of the England squad, so I felt a lot of pressure on me. What a coincidence having the same name.
What is your greatest sporting achievement and most embarrassing moment?
It would have to be being chosen to train and play for Great Britain, and the most embarrassing was at the Europeans for England Juniors when I was caught sleeping the ball came towards me for some reason I let it pass me before I reacted. A funny but embarrassing moment.
Who is your sporting hero and why?
Muhammed Ali, because of what he did, a man who was courageous and was able to rise to an occasion. He believed in what was right, was stripped of his medals and then was able to win it again. That is a great man.
Who’s your biggest supporter?
My biggest supporter has to be my best friend and the people at my local theatre they have seen me grow and accomplish a lot. When I feel pressure and stressed they are always there for me.
What has been your greatest sporting challenge?
It would have to be getting picked for the final 12 to go to Denmark for the Europeans. There were many players in my positions so I had to work hard to get in the team.
What's the best part abou tbeing a sportsman?
The rest you get after a training session, you don’t appreciate pleasure until you go through that pain. There are also the health benefits you get..
