| What sport did you or your player compete or coach in? |
| Rugby |
| Tell us your athletic story and how it impacted you… |
| I had played for upwards of 5 years, eventually reaching a level where I’d believed that I could play with just about anybody. I played a year up and get killed in every part of the game. I had to figure out how to push myself to be better and compete. |
| How did you get yourself or your player through the tough times? |
| I had to push myself and learn new ways to compete, I couldn’t beat them physically so I had to understand the game better. |
| What is the advice you would give to those currently competing/coaching/supporting? |
| Keep grinding and develop yourself not only physically but also mentally. |
| Are you still competing in a sport at the collegiate or professional level? If so, tell us what you wish you knew and what your best advice would be to players/coaches/supporters… |
| Yes, sports aren’t all physical, push players to understand the mental portion of the game. |
