I’m proud to have got to where I am and I feel like the next five years are going to be my best yet. I’ve got the right amount of motivation, experience and desire. As a kid I knew I had what it took to reach the top and I still feel like I’m on my journey. I’m not world champion just yet, but I believe I’ve got what it takes.

What does it take to be the best?
