Do you have other sporting interests? I.e. follow or play other sports apart from Waterpolo?
Pro-Evolution Soccer Master League 2009
Almost anything bar cricket
Do you have any non-sporting hobbies?
Uni studies I guess and xbox.
Who first introduced you to the game and when?
Simon Jones, Mike Yates and Trevor Pledger when I first started at Bolton School in 1999.
What are your plans once you stop playing Waterpolo?
Hopefully to be a doctor!
Would you consider coaching, if so which age group?
Yeah I’d love to be involved in coaching younger goalkeepers, but I need more experience myself before I start thinking about that yet.
Does your job affect your Waterpolo positively or negatively?
Being a student in Leeds is pretty tricky with all trainings being in Manchester. I try to get across as often as possible though.
What would you say are the most important physical and mental qualities of a Waterpolo player?
I think qualities of goalkeepers are very different from those of outfield players. Goalies need very strong legs, as opposed to swimming fitness, to help them kick high out of the water. They also need to have quick reactions and be good decision makers along with good concentration skills.
Do you have any major regrets with regards Waterpolo?
No
What is you favourite food?
Fish and Chips!
Where is your favourite holiday location?
The Lake District
