Sport / Interview
E V I S U L C X E
Can you tell us what you were thinking and how you were feeling, before, during and after the race? The night before I was so excited to race and couldn't really contain myself! I thought about my race plan, how I would execute it to win the race and how I would feel if I actually did win the race. I went to sleep and once I woke didn’t think about the race for a couple of hours until I was ready to warm up, now I could use the way my body felt to reassure myself that I was feeling good and I was ready. It was my grandfather’s birthday and I wanted to swim well, so made it my goal to get on the podium for him. During the race I was thinking through my race plan. I was thinking about my turns and that I should be disciplined enough to hold my breath long enough to have a really good turn. Following the race I was in a state of shock. I was aware of what I was doing at the time and that I was in front but I could not believe that the race had gone perfectly. I was most shocked about the time that I had swam rather than the result because I had no idea that I was capable of that sort of time! I was happy for my coach because he had worked just as hard if not harder than me the whole season to create the training environment for me and the rest of my squad.
When did you first become interested in swimming and at what point did you realise you wanted to make it a career? In 2010 I watched the Commonwealth Games in Delhi and I really wanted to compete at that level for a Scotland team, so from that moment I had my heart set on Glasgow being my stage. Following my performances in 2012 at the European Junior Championships I felt that I should take swimming more seriously and I made my move to the swimming programme based at The University of Stirling. I needed somewhere with a professional atmosphere where everyone had a common goal and were willing to put themselves through anything to achieve it. It was once I moved club that I made swimming my life. What’s a typical day like for you? I rise at 6.45am and have a cereal and an apple usually before driving to the pool for a 7.30 start. Following my pool workout I have another snack and head over to the gym. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I follow a weights program and on Tuesdays and Thursdays a power based circuit, all provided by the SportScotland Institute of Sport. After the gym I head home and make breakfast, I like to have a 4 egg omelette with spinach and maybe bacon too. I also have 2 bagels and a bowl of porridge. Sometimes after breakfast, I can have a nap making sure I use all the free time I have to ensure that I can train the best I can in the evening.
Sport / Interview

INTERVIEW At around 2.30 I head back to the pool to stretch before I get back in the water at 3.30. Three days a week I have a core circuit to attend before the pool session as well. Once training is finished I'll head back to my flat, make some dinner and just chill out before bed or go and meet friends. Our campaign, STAY GAMES ACTIVE encourages young people to stay active post-Games, which could involve trying out a new sport. What would you say to a young person considering sport as a hobby, but maybe aren’t sure which sport to try out? Try all sports that you have watched at the Games and find which one you enjoy the most. It is important that you do something active in your life but it is more important you enjoy it at the same time. Also find something that relaxes you because I find that if anything is on my mind and troubling me that I can use swimming to find the answer or chill me out which is important to me.
Under 18s in Glasgow can swim for free in any of the 12 Glasgow Life pools in the city. Why do you think young people should make the most of this offer whilst it’s free? It is a really good chance to try it out and see if you enjoy it and maybe see the benefits that swimming can have to your mindset, physique and outlook on life. What’s next/what are you training for at the moment? I'm currently finished for the summer but I'm travelling to Singapore to take part in an event where some of the best swimmers in the world lead a swimming master class for local kids and then have a small race to show them what it is all about. I'm just going to use this time to see my family and also friends that I have not seen for a while because of my training commitments throughout the year.

Real Life
I come from a family of six: me, my three younger brothers, big sister and mother. My family originated from Congo but we are currently living in Glasgow and have been for the past 12 years. I think I was born into a relationship with sport, a relationship that has grown into the love/hate kind. My passion has always given me the challenge to try something new and being the fastest boy in my primary school was a title I held proud. My talent was noticed at a school visit to Bellahouston Academy. I was handed an application form and invited to a sports trial and interview which I successfully completed, and that was when everything changed – from running in the playground for fun to representing The Glasgow School of Sport competitively which I do with pride. Going from my own comfort to the company of medical staff day in, day out was never in my line of sight but it has brought me confidence and also the blue print to conquering any problem I have since gone on to face.
I was 13 when I became diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma; a type of cancer that had paralysed me from the abdomen down, blocking my nervous system along my spine. It was only half way through the chemotherapy that I found out that I had cancer, which came as a shock because I had still not lost my hair so I was unaware what to feel. Being a teenager and having the power to lie in bed all day
where_to_ find_support:
might seem like heaven on earth, but when it’s not out of your own will it soon became frustrating, as all I could think of was being on the track with my team mates. I soon had to change my mindset and turn all the negative thoughts into positives with my mantra now being what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Being in hospital, I was never without company as I had family, friends, hospital staff and other patients to aid me get through the rough days. I was still receiving chemotherapy when I began school again in August 2011 which was a shock to the staff at school and they suggested that I start when I had completely finished the course, but my determination proved otherwise. My recovery was slow at first but the school of sport helped as they respected my choice of getting on with training with everyone else and not treat me differently. They provided me with a full training regime that has got me where I am now. Without it I would still be stuck on level one, trying to get back to the top. I am still a student at the Glasgow School of Sport and one of three pupils that received a Commonwealth Sports Scholarship award from the Wheatley Group. I train five times a week to one day achieve my goals of competing in the 2018 Commonwealth Games and 2020 Olympics. I want to be at the apex of my sport and entertain crowds of thousands. I know my family and my coaches have faith in me and I want to do them proud. Being ill and getting back on my feet was a coming of age experience. Overcoming this makes me feel that I don't see why anyone else can't fulfil their dreams. It's an honour to share my experience and hopefully motivate people to realise that anything is possible.

Growing_up,_did_you_ always_want_to be_a_teacher? Always! I would play 'schools' a lot with my older sister and take turns being the teacher. I would go in a mood if she didn't give me a star for my sums! I had a great teacher at Primary school, Miss Boyle, who I looked up to and I remember thinking 'I want to be just like that!’
What_made_you realize_teaching_was the_career_for_you? I've always loved children. I come from a big family and being one of 6 there was always someone to look after! I also helped my dad teach kids Tae Kwondo at his club and I loved that too! The kids always looked up to you for help, support and encouragement and when they achieved their goals it was a great feeling to know you played a part in that.
Careers
What_was_involved_in your_university_course?
A lot of hard work! Course assignments for each curricular area, presentations, placements and a lot of late nights! It was all worth it in the end though as I'm now doing a job that I absolutely love. I would do it all over again if I had to. We also had a great group of people in my year so that made the experience all that more enjoyable.
What's_a_typical_day like_for_you_now? There's not one day that's the same! A 'typical' day would include different aspects of Language and Maths being covered. The children have lots of opportunities for active learning and we also encourage them to take responsibility for their own learning which helps prepare them when they progress through school. Over the week we would also cover a range of curricular areas including Religious Education, Health, Art, Music, Drama, Technology, Science and Social Subjects. I try to make sure my lessons are fun, active and creative to keep the children engaged and motivated. I also have to make sure that my lessons are catered to meet the needs of all the learners in my care.
Were_there_any_surprises you_found_with_the_job? Expect the unexpected! The children continue to amaze and surprise me by bringing new and exciting experiences into the classroom every day. There is never a dull moment! Everyday is a learning day – even for me!
27
What_advice_would_you give_to_those_considering primary_school_teaching as_a_career? To me, I have the best job in the world, so naturally I would encourage anyone with an interest in this career to go for it. Be prepared to work hard and be 100% committed. The children deserve it and it'll make the job so much more worthwhile when you finally get there.
What's_been_your_career highlight_so_far? There are a few! I think it would have to be when I got my permanent job in Lourdes. The year I was interviewed there were hundreds of extremely skilled applicants and only a limited number of positions. I had gained a great deal of experience from previous placements that I was able to reflect upon. When I received my letter for the permanent post I was over the moon!
Finally,_what_do_you_think makes_a_good_teacher? For me, someone who is motivated by their job and has a great deal of patience and understanding. Also, someone who is continually reflecting on their own practice and willing to learn and develop new and existing skills. You should always strive to be the best you can be; for yourself and the children in your care!
