The Code To Success

Guy’s journey into sports began at the age of 8, when the family doctor advised he get in the pool to strengthen his lungs after multiple bouts of bronchitis. 

He got his first taste of victory at the national titles a year later winning his age group breastroke event. It was this win that became the drug that Guy has chased ever since.

Fortunately, Guy found his way to the pool of legendary swim coach – Terry Gathecole who was at the time, the head coach of the Aust Olympic Swim Team. The six-lane swim pool became Guy’s home till he turned 17. It was this high-performance environment that taught Guy at an early age, what he refers to as the pillars to success.

In that small pool, filled with the best swimmers in the county, Guy learned the meaning of focus, dedication and resilience. Any swimmer that graduated to ‘the fast lane’ -
lane 6 represented Australia at the Commonwealth Games or the Olympics. 

For Guy it became an obsession to get to lane 6 as quickly as possible. In reality It took five years. The lessons learned in that time served as the building blocks that enables him become the best the world – a world champion across several sports. Something very few people have ever done.
