Every morning, I do 10 minutes of mindfulness, where I do meditation, and I use that in competition and everyday life.

Training hasn't been consistent for the last week or so which was a bit annoying, but going into the competition I just had to get myself into the right mind frame.

You can only do so much in the gym or pool. Seventy per cent of it is physical, but the final 30 per cent is down to the mental capacity to actually control what you can do in competition.

Coming to the Gold Coast and being able to live as an openly gay man is really important.

A lot of people think inspiration means magic. But really, inspiration means to put life into something.

Sometimes when you're making more errors you want to pull back, but I just need to keep going forward.

I've always liked H&M's exciting and affordable fashion - there is plenty of inspiration in store to create your personal style.

Let hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Don't look back, you can never look back.
