ENTREPRENEUR
W
hat was life like
growing up?
I played sport seven days a week. I
regularly played football, rugby,
cricket and did swimming at club level and if I
wasn’t training, I was in the park.
Despite my active lifestyle as a child, I was very
chubby and I got punished for this. I’ll spare you
the details, but from students to teachers, I was
called pretty much every name under the sun.
If it wasn’t my weight being criticised, it was my
academic ability.
