Our favourite quotable moments:
“Having a genetic advantage is exactly that – it’s an advantage – it’s not a requirement for choosing a specific sport.” – Hayley Alexander (12:55)
“It’s more of an achievement sometimes when you don’t have those advantages, and you still are able to reach your goals through the hard work and the blood, sweat and tears.” – Hayley Alexander (14:35)
“Get out there, try something new. If it scares you a bit, then there’s even more reason to do it, and you never know what you might learn about yourself.” – Mark Seeto (16:40)
