Yeah, so I started YouTube in about 2020 during COVID.

And then I moved down to Dublin and my parents wanted to basically see what I was doing.

So then I was like, I'll start posting YouTube videos of what I do in the week.

And then it kind of progressed as this thing of where, like, when I was younger, I never got the opportunity to see what these...

people in the world were doing because island was never winning world championship gold medals yeah so it was like i need to i go on youtube to have a look at what other people doing and it wasn't really that much content so i was like i want to show people what you they truly do and a true behind the scenes so then i was like i'm going to show this on the youtube channel

I'm probably terrible at switching off.

Honestly, I'm always thinking about swimming.

I guess the parts I do switch off, I play a bit of golf and I also go to the cinema a lot.

That would be the time I switch off.

But I'm still thinking about something else.

It's never not just switching down and not thinking about anything.

Do you have to be obsessed?

Yes, definitely.

I think the obsession is what makes you great.

And I think that when I was younger, I was definitely obsessed with the hard work and the grind and the pain that you get during the training sessions because you can't really replicate.

I always say the joy you get out of a training session is really well, never replicated in anything.

Yeah.

See, when I finish a set and it's unbelievable, I'll never be able to repeat that kind of feeling in my life.

It's kind of addictive.

Kind of like a killer mentality is what I like to say.
