I compete at international level,last year I was in the Australian Team to compete in the Youth World Championships.I compete in Oceania,National,state and regional events.In 2008 I competed in over 10 events,2009 is a busy year with over 15 events on the calendar.I am also a current member of the Australian Youth Team and Squad.

Proudest Sporting Achievements

Proudest moments all happened in 2008 Winning my 1st National championship,making the semmis in the 2008 Youth World Championships[16th in the World for speed climbing],climbing a grade 25 outside and representing Australia.

What are you hoping to achieve

Hoping to go as far in my chosen sport as i can.Making the Australian Team for the Youth World Championships 2009,to be held in France.Each year you have to set yourself short term goals to achieve as well as the long term goals.Long term goal is to compete on the World Cup circuit as a open climber.

How does LineBreak help

The clothing range is great and gives you more confidence when wearing it.It is great for movement and also looks good.

Just giving you an update. I have not been competing for the past year, due to an injury but now that I have recovered. I am more determined than ever, I hoping that next year I will qualify for the 2012 youth world championships which will be held in singapore. This being my last year in youth I am hoping to make myself and the country proud.

I my just dropping you line to let you know how training and competitions in my sport of rock climbing are going. I will be representing NSW on the 6th of August as part of the team in the Australian Nationals for difficulty which will be held in Tasmania and in October I will be competing in the Oceania cup as part of the Australian Climbing Team, which will be held in Auckland, New Zealand. I've been climbing and wear all the range of LineBreak clothing. I've had lots of comments on the quality of the gear and it helps with the blood flow when I am climbing. I don't get as pumped. I go to the gym three times a week as well as my climbing training, I wear the clothing there as well.
