Education provides the foundation to my identity as a professional triathlete. It forms a framework for questioning and continually improving aspects of my health and wellbeing including nutrition, exercise physiology and review of my performance. Importantly, my studies help to balance physical and mental aspects of my life allowing me to imagine a future that complements and builds upon my triathlon career.

The knowledge and skills that I am developing through my studies also have relevance to other fields important to my future career - for example, leadership and advocacy, project management and effective communication.
