Being able to help people.
2. Leap Health Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centres is the Principal Physiotherapist for Hockey Tasmania’s teams – the Tasmanian Tigers and the Van Demons, what has been your involvement over the years with each of these teams?
I have assisted both the Tasmanian Tigers and the Van Demons hockey teams over the years as their physiotherapist, which I very much enjoyed. Now our physiotherapists Ben Hayes and Ian McHugh look after these teams.
3. What’s your best tip for a weekend warrior?
Have a well-planned, graduated, pre-season.
4. What’s your favourite meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner?
Dinner. Only because I like to eat a lot, and I don’t get to eat enough for breakfast or lunch.

Never forget where you have come from, or you will never be able to realise where you want to go.

I like listening to John Williamson.

Family.
