Aaliyah Yoong - Riding The Waves To New Heights

National water ski athlete, Aaliyah Yoong Hanifah joins Bar None on the back of her recent success at the IWWF University World Championships in New Zealand. In a dominant display, Aaliyah bagged three gold medals in women’s jump, tricks, and the overall category. We catch up with Aaliyah to hear what life is like these days as both a student and an athlete and how she balances them.

Malaysian racing driver, Jazeman Jaafar then joins us on our Peak Performance segment to talk about how rookie drivers cope with the pressure of performing at the highest level, and why, at the end of the day, despite all the hype, they’re all human and should be viewed as such.
