I had strong legs that would have made me a good sumo wrestler and I used that to my advantage, but my home runs were achieved by technique.

As an athlete, I used my speed, agility and quickness to go out and play against the big guys.

I've done sport for a long time.

My body is a vehicle for the mechanics of my sport.

For a long time, I thought I'd be a physio if I wasn't a sportsman. At one point, I wanted to be an inventor, and I'd come up with little schemes.

I was fully immersed in the now as an athlete.

I don't have a competitive bone in my body, so the last thing I want to do is be competing with people.

Throughout my career I swam for form. Speed came as a result of it.

As an athlete, there are advantages being with a team and getting regular physio.

I'd try to channel my nervous energy in a positive way into strength and endurance. It didn't always work.
