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.
