Do you have any pre-competition routines or rituals?

Who is your hero / idol, and why? Have you ever met them?
Rafael Nadal, Usain Bolt. I love the character of these two, especially Rafa no? The pure grit and fighting of Rafa makes me admire him so much, as well as his ability to be humble but confident and real. I also love Bolt for the self-confidence he displays as well as maintaining his humility and character. I met Nadal at the Olympic Village in Rio2016 and had a photo taken with him. However, I have never met Bolt but got to see him race in real life, which was unreal.
Who has been the most influential person or people in your career and why?
My brother and parents. They have guided and supported me more than anybody else, throughout my whole career.
