I contacted the UQSA because I needed to develop greater endurance to assist me in my races. My conditioning wasn’t great and I needed some help. Vince Kelly at the UQ Sport Academy has been fantastic in developing innovative and challenging conditioning programs. He has pushed me hard and helped me improve my level of conditioning tremendously. This has helped me achieve my goal of becoming the World Champion.
