He began seriously focusing on running in high school. (blog.streamlineathletes.com, 01 Nov 2020)

"It wasn't until my last couple years of high school that I knew I wanted to compete [in athletics] at the collegiate level. Up until that point, my main sport was soccer; I trained and competed at a very high level and running was just more for fitness. However, after some success at high school I recognised that track was my forte." (blog.streamlineathletes.com, 01 Nov 2020)

General Interest

General
TURNING PRO
After graduating from university he signed a professional contract with Jerry Schumacher's Bowerman Track Club in Portland, OR, United States of America. He says joining the group has seen him develop as an athlete. "I think there were a few times [when he first joined the Bowerman Track Club] Jerry threw me in with the wolves and wanted to see what would happen. You can learn a lot. There are little things to learn from each of these guys. At the same time, we're all at a high level, and there aren't many egos on the team. That's something that I was hesitant about when you go into such a top-notch team. A lot of us do similar events. I didn't know how the dynamic would be, but people are supportive. I think everyone has bought into the idea that if we raise the level for everybody and we work well together, we can do some cool stuff. Every day can be challenging. The group's so big and so talented that on any given day, somebody probably feels good. If you want to really extend yourself, you can find someone to go toe-to-toe with. This has been really fun and I've grown up a lot." (trackandfieldnews.com, 04 Sep 2020; blog.streamlineathletes.com, 01 Nov 2020)
