School student Tristan Brown has returned home victorious from the recent 2012 Laser Radial National Championships in Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>Tristan took out the top gong as Australian Radial Champion and will now compete for Australia at the World Radial Championships in July.<\/p>\n<p>The win caps off an eventful summer for Tristan, who also competed at the ISAF World Championships, held off Fremantle, as well as Sail Sydney and Sail Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p>The Commerce student is part of Curtin University\u2019s Elite Athletes Friendly University Program, an initiative that helps high-performing sportspeople balance their studies and training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurtin staff have really helped me plan my studies around my competition schedule,\u201d Tristan said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually think that studying at Curtin has helped improve my performance on the water as I have learnt valuable time management skills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI plan my semester schedule in advance so I can liaise with my course coordinators to find out when the assessments and exams will be, which really helps a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tristan said those time management skills had come in handy for his training because he currently averages five on-water training sessions a week, with each session lasting between two to three hours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to my on-water training, I also utilise the gym at Curtin Stadium and take part in cycling sessions,\u201d Tristan said.<\/p>\n<p>Tristan said he hoped he could combine his experience as a competitive athlete with the skills learnt through his\u00a0studies to pursue a career in sports administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be great to leave university and start a career working as part of the administration\u00a0for a large sporting organisation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perth sailor and Curtin Business School student Tristan Brown has returned home victorious from the recent 2012 Laser
