You think, oh, why me? You sort of do that, don't you?

Massively.

It's obviously a part of the game, but I'd have the same thing for four years.

and I knew that it wasn't getting better but people around me were like trying to keep me motivated so they were telling me that was all in my head I literally at one point really thought that it was just in my own in my own headspace and for six months I had this injury and I was pushing forwards at like a hundred mile an hour knowing that my body went right and then when I got when I when I got all the scans and that what I knew was right was right the nerve was impinged and I had to basically try and shrink the piriformis muscle but then when you're getting injections you're getting botox and like It wasn't getting any better.

So that was a tough pill to swallow.

And I lost myself big time.

I didn't know what I wanted to do, what avenue that I was going to go down.

off you

You've gotta sorta know who you're teaching, what you're teaching, how you're teaching, so you've probably-

probably-It's good for you.

You've been able to learn, haven't you? Oh, 1- 1- 100% because I, I had to- Learn quick ...

learn quick, but also have that knowledge base to be able to impress people as well.

Otherwise, people are not gonna take you serious, especially when you're 17 teaching like adults or teaching like... 'Cause in CrossFit gyms we have a multitude of different people, like all gyms do, from everyday walks of life and all different areas of life.

You're dealing sometimes with like high-level doctors or people who are like really intelligent in their fields.

You need for them to take you seriously.

If you're in a negative space, under pressure with business or, you know, your sexuality or anything like that, if you're carrying that around with you-

Brilliant.

And then the se- in the semifinals it was down to 37 people.

So in the semifinals, uh, you had to make a video, um, just again, answering questions, uh, to send over to them.

And then again, it was a couple of weeks, I was kinda starting to forget about it, and then I got a phone call from Screwfix and they let me know that I was in the finals for it, and it was down to now 10 people.

Can you remember any of them?

Um, so in the semifinals one, it was like they asked you what's your favorite tool you use on a day-to-day basis, uh, what you would do to change the trades.

Just another kinda few basic questions about yourself and what you do out with work and stuff like that.

Um, and it was very much the same in the finals as well.
