You need to surround yourself by people that see something great in you that you might not see in yourself. By people who have the expertise to help you get to where you’re going. And people that can give you the advice that you need when you need it.
Damian Warner
I think I would tell aspiring athletes that if there’s something that they want to achieve, and they believe they can achieve it, to find the people that can help them get to where they need to go. Ultimately you need those people. And you also have the belief. And if you have those two things then anything is possible.
Damian Warner
Some of the most important lessons that I’ve learned is I can set big goals for myself – I can push myself to limits that I never would have imagined.

Damian Warner
All these different things I’ve learned through sports. And all these things I believe will help me out through life.
