What was the biggest thing you learnt about yourself making this film, and was it emotional to revisit your past? I am not the type of person who naturally looks back and reflects, so that was difficult for me to do but it has made me appreciate how far I have come and how lucky I am to have some great people around me.Continue to work in the sport I love, helping others make the most of their talents.
