"Nothing comes without hard work and plenty of sacrifice. If you want to achieve at the world's highest level, you have to be mentally strong, have to adjust to things quickly and think differently to most people. If your race doesn't go as well as you had hoped and planned for, you analyse it, learn from it and then put it behind you and move forward. I am also constantly reminded that I do this sport because I love it, it brings me joy and it challenges me." (gsport.co.za, 28 Jun 2020)
