It's going to sound cliche but it's the journey and learning you pick up along the way. I have formed a strong belief that everything in sport evolves around basic simple principles of balance and those principles apply to everything else in life.

Do not over engineer! Stick to basics & listen to your gut.

Usually high carb , it's not the same every time but just respecting the basics of being easy to digest and high on energy to fuel up.

Jan Zelezny (javelin world record holder ) for his technical brilliance, Bruce Lee for his mindset, Marcus Aurelius for his stoic wisdom.

I enjoy good food, I love quality sound and music, company of good friends and quality conversation over a beverage of choice. Besides that I love to work on little projects here and there around the house and being crafty.
