My Journey To Health
I grew up in the heart of West Auckland, New Zealand. Here I discovered my love for sports, I continued with basketball eventually becoming a top NZ recruit for the emerging Junior Tall Blacks before I left high school to embark on the USA…
I always struggled with “what” and “how” to eat like an athlete and this led to weight management obstacles in my sport of basketball where I had to stay considerably lean and “athletic” throughout the competitive season. It was over in the USA where I found the love for training and was taught how to eat in order to fuel my body and drive performance, thus creating a pathway for the love and knowledge I developed towards training and nutrition.
My advice to anyone starting out or wanting to change their approach to fitness and nutrition is to stay consistent, trust yourself, be patient, and stick to a routine that is maintainable and allows you to live a balanced lifestyle.
