commitment and focus he has surpassed

Queensland AND Australian records.

JC Strength Gyms has been his driving force along with the dedication and knowledge of his coach Jill. RJ joined the gyms Teen Program at 13yrs old and has jumped from pillar to pillar to be where he is today. He has always had a clear focus on the chance to compete on a world platform.

His positive vision and confidence is evident in his accomplishments, securing

3 National Titles and now aiming for a World Title while representing Australia.

RJ has a clear mindset, challenging himself, achieving goals and reviewing his process when it doesn't go his way. A true sportsman has their ups and downs. To experience taking on the world at 14 is incredibly humbling and a huge honour.
