00:00I understand that you're getting ready for the upcoming Nationals. How confident are you?
00:05In terms of confidence, I can't say last year. I played third. I'm not too sure who the entries are this year,
00:13but I'm going in optimistically, hoping to make it to at least the finals.
00:18Well, I know you say you don't know who the opponents will be, but still you may have done some homework as to who would be there.
00:25So, how ready are you for them, and what sort of homework did you do?
00:30My homework, well, it's been a bit tricky. I've been very busy over these last few months,
00:34but trying to, you know, keep whatever fitness I have there and jump on the court whenever I can,
00:39although that hasn't been as often as I would like recently.
00:42But, yeah, going to go in strong, try my best.
00:47What is the aim from here after the Nationals?
00:51Well, we have two upcoming tournaments in August.
00:54Obviously, the Senior Pan American Championships in Brazil, so we're hoping to go to that.
00:59And then there's also the Senior CASA tournament, which is held annually,
01:02and I believe it's in Jamaica in November of this year.
01:05Yeah, so those are the two that I have on my schedule, hopefully.
01:09I understand that you're also studying to be a doctor.
01:12So, how do you manage to mix your studies with your sport?
01:17It's been extremely tricky, I'm not going to lie.
01:20I often find myself tilting one way or the other.
01:24Lately, I have had to duck under and not train as much because I just wrote my final exams.
01:28In fact, yesterday was my last day.
01:31But now that those are over, I'm ready to start back training full force.
01:34Cheers.
01:35Cheers.
