About Athlete
I grew up in a tough social and highly politicized sporting environment which made it emotionally and physically tough to excel in almost any sport. This sporting environment made me work even harder than before to achieve my goals.
My dream is to go out representing my chosen team and consistently improving myself through dedicated exercise routines and in this process also study towards my degree in sport sciences.
My methodology will be to balance my sporting and academic studies, and I therefore hope this will have a positive impact on my team.
I am a go-getter and willing to even work harder, no matter what team I represent. Athletics is my life and love every moment of it.
I am constantly training hard to better myself and be the best I can be.
