Miles Chamley-Watson
When Miles Chamley-Watson was
younger, he was always getting into
trouble. This led to having to stay after
school and select an extracurricular activity. He
chose fencing, and it ended up changing his life.
Now an Olympic fencer, Miles keeps his body in
incredible shape to compete at the high-performance
level he’s reached.
“The body is what allows us to do amazing things,”
Miles explains. “If you don’t understand or take
your body seriously, that’s where you run into
huge problems down the line.” He has a great team
around him – from a supportive family to his Dogpound
trainers and fencing coaches – and Miles
wants to be the best he can possibly be.
“I am easily motivated,” he says. “I am addicted to
more. I want to win everything.”
Right now, he’s training hard to get a spot in the
2020 Olympics.
“Three years may seem far,” he notes, “but it's actually
very close.”
