Free-diving is all about being lean, being super-flexible, and having a good breath hold.

Coming from Australia and playing rugby, you just think that soccer is a bit soft, but I'll tell you what, it's not. It's rough as guts.

I've gone from being a brilliant captain of a TV soccer team to an average rugby player on a real team. I've gotten so used to ruling the roost and just saying whatever the hell I wanted, and I had to get back to reality.

I grew up spear-fishing, so I've always had a breath hold.

Free-diving is all about dealing with anxiety. I've blacked out a few times. I've had big black-outs.

Every audition, I still get nervous. I still get sweaty palms. I don't think that ever goes away. You just get accustomed to it.
