About Athlete

“Nothing is impossible, unless you believe it to be” – This is the motto I live by and I tackle challenge that come my way with a positive attitude. I have learnt that you determine the outcome of the situation, and with a positive mindset, anything is possible.

I am a dedicated and hard working person, who takes every opportunity that life gives and makes the most of it.

I believe that hard work pays off and I always put in the hours to do well both academically and on the hockey field.
