It was hard three years ago but this year…I’ve really found training hard this last few years. Since Tokyo I’ve struggled with it, it’s been a mental battle as much as a physical battle.”Around this time last year, Jervis was recovering from a mental health crisis, which caused him to withdraw from the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
