CLUB/ASSOCIATION: Illawarra Cycle Club Why did you apply for an IAS scholarship? I wanted to develop in my cycling to race more competitively at a state level. I also applied to improve in my track cycling and tactical ability in all areas of cycling. Who’s your favourite professional athlete and why? Cadel Evans because he has won the rainbow jersey and he is the only Australian ever to win the Tour de France. If you weren’t playing this sport what would you be doing and why? I would probably be playing football or soccer because they are active sports that require skill and fitness. How would you describe yourself in one sentence? I am hard working, committed, determined, fun and friendly. What are your plans beyond school? To earn a living in the cycling world but I would like to go to university and study for a Sports Science degree and perhaps become a cycling coach or a physiotherapist. If you didn’t live in Australia where would you like to live ? Italy because they make some really nice Italian bikes. What do you do in your free time? I spend time with my friends and we go camping as a family. What are your favourite subjects at school? Science and Maths. What is your greatest achievement in your sport so far? Winning the D Grade Illawarra Cycle Club championships and winning a points race at the National Junior Track Series. When, and how, did you start playing your sport? I started playing my sport a year ago and I got started by getting a licence and doing club races then progressed to state level races.
