Born of two athlete parents, Jake knew from an early age that competing at a professional level was what he aspired to achieve.  Talking to elite athletes is always exciting, but what really inspired us during our conversation was Jake\u2019s attitude towards the opportunity he has, both on and off the track.  We talk to Jake about the importance of goal setting and how, when got right, this creates positive motivation to keep progressing. Jake also has a strong philosophy around learning from mistakes to help drive future success.  We also explore the value of learning from the community around you, and to equally share your lessons, to help propel everyone forward.  Jake also finds inspiration from those less fortunate than him, he mentions David Smith, a Paralympic athlete, who\u2019s journey we\u2019ve linked below.  Jake\u2019s wisdom beyond his years is an inspiration and something everyone could take from.  Good Luck in Japan Jake! We\u2019ll be cheering you on.
