Love him or hate him, there is a lot that our national marathoner has to share when it comes to his passion for the sport.

When I first met Sasha, I thought she was too cool to talk to me but she turned out to be super nice and humble and I was totally smitten with her!

In our conversation, I learned a lot more about not only wakeboarding- how the competition works and what wakeboarders do for training and I got to know Sasha more. I found out how determined she is and she shares with us how she recovered from her injury to win 2 Gold medals at the SEA Games 2017. If that isn't determination, I don't know what is!

Here's our very own National Highjumper, Michelle Sng, as we talked how she got out of retirement to winning a SEA Games Gold medal and what she did to get her own sponsorship for her school to be able to train and study at the same time. Talking about #makingithappen, this lady is a kick-ass example of taking ownership of her life and paving her way to success. I am inspired by how determined she is and how she takes competing in her 30s in her own stride. So much to learn from our conversation!

Here's Michelle Sng on IG if you wish to link up with her or ask her anything about high jumping!

She's a four times Paralympian, a Paralympic Bronze medalist in the SB4 100m breaststroke in Rio 2016, and a world record holder in the SB4 50m and 200m breaststroke but amidst all the achievements she has achieved, Theresa Goh is a super down-to-earth person.

We talked about the good parts about being an elite athlete and the ugly bits where the public don't usually get to see. She's an inspiration to me before the interview and after hearing her story first-hand, I look up to her even more now.

Watch our conversation and follow TG on her social media platforms!

Took this opportunity to interview a 3-times Olympian from Austria while she was in Singapore for a Judo competition as a coach!

We talked about her love for the other stuff in her life besides Judo which makes her happy and which actually in a way helps her become a high-performing athlete. Find out what keeps her going at 37 years old and if she's going to try qualify for Tokyo Olympics 2020.

Talking to her has definitely changed the way I see my life- as a human, and as an athlete. I hope it will inspire you too.
