Everyone has tests in their life. They come in lots of different forms. I had two or three together, which definitely challenged me as a person and as a sportsman.

Last summer was probably the biggest disappointment of my career, but now I have something bad with which to balance the good. I will no longer take anything for granted Picture Quote #1

I was exposed to the gym at about 28. I never had a huge love or appetite for it - it was just a means to an end Picture Quote #1
