coaster. <strong>The</strong>re’s such a difference in <strong>the</strong> way I feel before a high dive (all <strong>the</strong> nerves<br />

after a successful dive.<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs?<br />
Training includes lots of diving from <strong>the</strong> poolside, 1m, 3m, 5m, 7m, and 10m, plus lots of<br />
strength and conditioning, some trampolining and dry land somersaults.
