Transcript

00:00Regan, congratulations, you are the U21 Sportsman of the Year, how does that feel?

00:04Obviously I'm absolutely buzzing, I wasn't sure if I should come back for it but I'm

00:08absolutely beyond glad I came back for it now.

00:11Last time I spoke to you was in Guernsey about 18 months ago and obviously you had an amazing

00:16breakout game there but then 2024 you've just gone from strength to strength haven't you?

00:20Yeah, honestly I didn't think it was going to go this well to be honest, after 2023 I

00:26thought you know what, if I can just build on this and even just stay consistent but

00:302024 got even better, got the GB call up and went to Euros, obviously I honestly think

00:36now the sky's the limit, just keep pushing.

00:39I think you've just answered the question, the next question was what was the highlight

00:41of 2024, I'm guessing it was the Europeans?

00:43Yeah absolutely, it was going to the Europeans and competing with the best in Europe and

00:46then towards the end of the season, just got the timings wrong of the season, in September

00:50managed to get the European lead and ranked fourth in the world, I'm buzzing with that

00:54as well.

00:55It's so early in your career as well, I mean to say you've really announced yourself in

01:00the last few years and you just go from strength to strength.

01:03So 2025 has obviously started well for you already, records, personal bests, so what's

01:10next for you?

01:11To be honest we're just going to keep pushing, I had a bit of trouble during October just

01:16with illness and so I didn't get as much training as I wanted to but so indoors, still managed

01:21to get PBs, records and pushing medals at nationals, so outdoors you can guarantee I'll

01:25be medalling nationally, internationally and with that extra training honestly the sky's

01:30the limit like I say.

01:31You're based in Loughborough now, how's all that going, are you studying over there and

01:36everything, is it all going well?

01:38Yeah so I'm studying over there at the minute, I'm doing sports coaching and really enjoying

01:42it, I'm just enjoying the whole environment, like you walk down to the track sometimes

01:45and you see Olympians and world champions and you're like one day I'm going to be competing

01:49with these guys and really pushing them, it's a great environment to be around mentally,

01:53physically, just everything, it's great.

01:56And speaking of mixing it with an elite calibre athlete obviously tonight, in this sort of

02:01room, it just makes you wonder just how well we do on the international stage, the other

02:05man, you look at Cavendish and obviously everyone else, is it giving you that added incentive

02:10to just go even further?

02:11Oh yeah 100%, I must have watched Cavendish's record made documentary show nearly 10 times,

02:19so to see him in person and have a chat with him and get a picture, honestly I'm absolutely

02:22buzzing, almost as good as winning the award, I'm absolutely buzzing with that.

02:26Good, well congratulations on the award and all the best for the rest of the season.
