➁ Favourite Sports
It would have to be between football and golf. I’m a big Norwich City fan, but then also I play a lot of golf in the summer.
➂ Greatest Piece of Advice
The best bit of advice I’ve had is to not fear failure. Being ok with making mistakes is one of the biggest things, because it’s easy to play with fear and mess up. By failing, you learn lessons and you can then use that to get better.
