Justin Olam Ep1 PNG Kumuls, Melbourne Storm, Simbu Province, Rugby League TheDavidMeadPodcast
Justin Olam is a professional rugby league player in Australia and has represented his country’s national team the PNG Kumuls on several occasions. One of his proudest moments in sport was winning the NRL premiership in 2020. It was a moment that “didn’t feel real” and it took him a while to believe. Putting his home country’s jersey on for the first time was up there as one of his proudest and favourite moments too.
Justin’s early upbringing in Simbu Province, Papua New Guinea, is an interesting one. He credits the success he has to his mother. She was the person who helped him to stay focused on his studies. She always made sure that his responsibilities of chopping firewood and carrying water from the river were done so his family could prepare their meals. After his responsibilities were done he could then take time to play. He believes this example of his upbringing is what gave him a good start to be successful in life. Justin is a huge believer in education and encourages the youth in Papua New Guinea to take their studies seriously so that they can have a better chance at living a successful life.
