I am Reuben Havenga, I am a highly ambitions, 16 year old college student in the UK. I am a dedicated, courageous young adult and I value integrity, resilience. Humour is also an important value to me, and is present within my relationships and social networks.
At Peter Symonds College I am studying: Economics, Politics and history at A - Level. These areas of academics give me a comprehensive understanding of how political, economic, and historical forces intertwine to shape societies, and gives me a strong understanding of critical thinking and analysis.
I have finished secondary school with 10 GCSES, to score a 3.32 Grade Point Average. I am currently predicted high grades with my A levels, with my first set of results being straight A grades.
As for diving, I am currently in the top 8 divers in my age group for the UK, and have consistently maintained a top position since my first National competition at the age of 10. I am passionate and dedicated towards my sport, and would love to continue doing so in America, whilst simultaneously expanding my knowledge by studying academically.
A quote by Brandon Foster head coach at Southampton Diving academy:
Reuben Havenga is a high-level diver who is ranked in the top 8 of his age group in Great Britain. At the age of 10
Reuben competed at his first national event, finishing 4th in his category out of a field of around 30. He has consistently stayed at the top end of his age group throughout the years, moving up a level, with aims to be a Senior National level athlete in the new few months. I've seen him mature as an athlete and person which has been the biggest part in his success as a diver.
At the start of Reuben's career, around the age of 13/14, he lost his love of the sport due to injury and fear, and the way he has overcome that across the years has been amazing to see. It has taken a lot of courage and trust in the process. He is now very self-driven, fearless, and motivated to succeed in the sport.
I see a lot of potential in Reuben and have enjoyed the journey being his coach.
