Training is such a vital part of preparation for a game, you really do train to play. It tops up your ability, like sharpening a carving knife. You can get away with not doing it for a while, as long as you have reached a certain standard of fitness.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

I've given many lessons in many sports over the years to many different people.

Athletic skills are acquired over a long period of time and after countless hours of practice.

There are hurdles to overcome in sport and in life. Sport is a very valuable learning ground for how to live your life in the best possible way.

If you have a coach helping you, developing your skills alongside you, that's when you're on your way to becoming not just a participant but achieving.

You can play a particular sport as long as you take good care of your body and you're confident enough and still have that hunger to where you want to be a part of an organization, a group of individuals where you feel you can contribute to the success of that team.

Training has been such a huge part of my life and career I hope to keep going with it.

You have to go out and find a way to compete every day. I know what I can do and what I can offer the team.

It's an individual sport; you want to do well for yourself.
