Member Spotlight - Matt

New to the community, Matt has been an incredible addition already. After his win at the Australian Para-Tri National Championships earlier this month, we were eager to get to know him!

1. What is your main goal for 2026?

⁠I take each day separately. Plans always change for me. However, representing Australia in the Para-Tri would be something I'd love to achieve this year. Getting starting on the international stage would be amazing, but my swim leg needs work 😅

2. What LAB value most resonates with you?

⁠⁠#3 for sure! F*** Average, Be Extraordinary. Bit of a swearing sailor myself (guilty) but I like to push myself and especially others to be the best they can be in the sporting world!

3. What is a fun fact about you that you think the community would like to know?

I am a legally blind athlete. Being playing international blind cricket for 10 years now, and now hoping to be on the world stage for Para-Tri.

4. What is your favourite race you have done?

Only done a handful, but Para Nationals at St Kilda takes the cake (so far 👀)

5. What's your go-to hype song?

Ohhh don't really have one. It's more what is currently in my continuous repeat but I'll have to say Face My Fears (English) - Hikaru Utada
