“My first cross country ski race was the Victorian Interschools in 1992. That was the start of a journey that I had dreamed of as a kid and in 2006 I made my Winter Olympic debut in Torino.”
– Paul Murray, Australian Winter Olympian, 2006 & 2010.

Ultimately, motivation is one of the overriding factors that drives athletic success – when you find it, seize the opportunity!
