He said: “I feel like I’ve been in an inconsistent environment for a very, very long time.
“So it’s even more difficult to be consistent. I think consistency is what I need to bring into my game and I’m looking to do that.
“Obviously, I want to be at my best, not sometimes, but as often as possible.
“When people talk about consistency, in order to be consistent in anything, not just sports, you need consistent variables like in your life.
“And in the way you train, and we’ve just had so many changes so far in my career.
“But, like I said, I have to look forward, and that’s definitely one of the things that I’d want to put right and improve on, to be at my best more often.
“Because when I’m at my best, I really enjoy everything about the sport, so, yeah, being there is a special thing for me.”
