Played over 300 professional rugby league games. Two Super League premiership titles. Athlete Wellbeing Manager at Marsden State High School. Some of the challenges the youths are facing in school. Growing up in Western Sydney. It’s hard being away from family - the importance of their support. Being disciplined - especially with food.Never the best player. Just did his job the best he could.Having a clear mind about “making it”. Still realising there is a long way ahead. Serving your apprenticeship at a young age will set you up. Preparation is key. You must have tough conversations. If you want to be a leader you must have tough conversations with your teammates. Be willing to work just as hard.
