Sam Bentham '18 Recruiting Profile

I am an ambitious young endurance athlete always reaching high.  My ultimate goal is to compete In Hawaii at Kona in the world Iron Man championships and to gain a top placing there.  I have been competing at a high level here in NZ for a 2 year snow roughly, and am one of the top in the country for the under 20 age group.

I also believe it is very important to do well academically in life and not just with my sporting goals. I believe it is important to have a academic plan as well as a sporting plan in case something happens like an injury. Or, for you as an athlete, to fall back on after you athletic career is over, as you cant be an elite athlete for ever. 

I have other interest out side of my sporting life such as music, which I retreat to when in need of a break from the mental and physical stresses imposed from the sporting and schooling side of my life.
