Scott Llewellyn

The Junior Australian Champion of the 2010/2011 season had the run of his life to date, landing a spot on the Australian squad to compete in Beijing at the world junior sprint championships and solidifying his name as one of Australia's biggest talents, I hung out with Scott recently to gain an insight into how his life has been going post worlds and to find out what makes the Newcastle lad tick.

2012 has seen great change in Scott's life as he has made the move back from the ITU breeding ground of Gold Coast, Queensland where his training partner was none other then Brad Kahlefeldt. The move was prompted by the symptoms of burn out beginning to show up so a move to take a step back and enjoy the ways of life in which a teenager should.

During the time away from the sport the Belmont Beast has been catching up with the boys, hitting the coffee shops on the regular, Golf, planning Bali trips and having one too many beers like any smart athlete would to get it out of the system before a long hard route to top form.

The qualities that Scott has been gifted with have made him a nice guy in the sport but is training as hard as possible to fire a barrage of mental and physical attacks at his critics that have in the past been disappointed by the teams and development groups that he has been selected for. Everyone is peaking for him to throw a spanner in the works after a year away from the scene and show everyone how his form created the luck needed to be unbeaten in all Australian Junior series races throughout last years season.

Scott said "success has a thousand sons, but failure has only none" meaning that whoever has stayed true to his development as an athlete he is truely grateful for and whats to thank anyone that has helped him throughout the years, for anyone in the past that has tried to ride on his wagon to success when he is on a high and kick him in the guts when he is down to stay posted because Scott Llewellyn 2.0 is coming out all canons firing for March 2013.

Thanks,
