Achievements:
I have been a sportsman since 6 years old. I set myself realistic goals and stay focused on overcoming obstacles. I strive to become the best in everything I commit to. My first goal is to remain focused and dedicated to my mission and expectations in competitions and training. This will only be achieved if I am loyal to myself, coaches, college team and IAM360. My second goal is to achieve provincial colours ( Boland / Western Cape ) in March 2020. My final goal will be to compete at ASA ( Athletics South Africa ) track and field championships. I am a person who can prioritize, maintain a routine, act responsibly and maturely.
I make decisions not only to benefit myself buy my fellow athletes and team-mates. I am a proud Fairbairn and grateful to have a caring and unselfish family who are prepared to sacrifice for me to achieve my dreams and goals. I will praise them and always hold the family name high. When I am successful, I will dedicate all my glory firstly to God and secondly to my family and those who trust and support me. I believe that a team is a family. As a leader i am prepared to motivate, sacrifice and care for my team-mates through victory and defeat.
I have been coaching Matt the past two years (2018 – 2019) and have come to know him as a very committed athlete and person.
He has very good characteristics and a strong personally. He would always be on time and committed to the program. He would make sure of the goal for the specific season.
His attitude towards the sport and specifically athletics is very positive and it is indeed a pleasure and privilege to coach him. He works well within a team and has a strong leadership characteristic that will surely be valuable for him in future.
I know that he will strive as an athlete and person in the right environment and coaching structure. Please feel free to contact me for any further information.
