Greatest sporting moments…

I have been fortunate enough to be apart of some memorable sporting moments over the last few years, but perhaps the most memorable has been whilst being involved with state level Volleyball. In 2008 and 2009 I was lucky enough to be involved with the Victorian under 17 boys’ state teams as they took silvers medal at the junior National championships. Equally, I was also fortunate enough to be apart of a TAC cup finals campaign in that same year, with the club enjoying one of its most successful years. In 2009 I was lucky enough to be involved with the Malaysian track cycling team as they enjoyed success at the world championships.

Personal sporting experience:

• Representative level basketball/School football (AFL)/Australasian Championships with Men’s Netball.
