THOMAS Davies won the Mosman Daily’s Junior Sports Star Young Achiever award twice — for running and skipping — and now enjoys triathlon and mountain-biking too.

The range of sports showcased through the Junior Sports Star awards, however, motivated him to try different sports.

Davies now competes in triathlon and also enjoys mountain-biking.

He no longer skips competitively but likes skipping for fitness and is still a middle distance runner breaking his personal bests.

Davies encourages nominees to train hard, show passion and commitment and to stay positive despite the “ups and downs”.

His personal motto is “a ­refusal to fail”.
