Philosophy:

"Get up and get going. Don't put off a session because you don't feel up to it - get into the water and give it your best. There is no better feeling to complete a training set at 100%." (speedo.co.za, 01 Jan 2021)

COLLEGE COMMITMENT
In 2020 he verbally committed to join the University of Georgia in the United States of America in 2022, choosing the university with the help of his coach Wayne Riddin who previously worked with the university's assistant swimming coach Neil Versfeld. "Coach Neil is an ex-South African and was coached by my current coach, Wayne Riddin at my current club in Pietermaritzburg, Seals Swimming Club. Neil started with Wayne Riddin, as I did as an age-group swimmer. Neil went on to qualify for the Olympics in 2008. Neil understands our programme, my passion and where I come from. I am excited about what the future holds for all of us at the University of Georgia." (swimswam.com, 11 Jul 2020)
