I enjoy rugby not only for the hard hits and tries scored, (though those are always nice.) I play because I enjoy the team environment and consider my team mates family. We each have a role on the team and somehow it goes together nicely. My biggest influence in rugby: I get my passion for the game from my dad. I can always count on positive advice, he’s always there for me, and he sees potential in me as a rugby player. My dad is my private coach and my #1 fan. He is always finding different ways to make me a complete rugby player. Favorite rugby teams: Team Canada (representing home), New Zealand All Blacks, and last but not least, Ireland rugby team. Goals in rugby. Team Alberta, Team Canada, Olympics Before a game I get this feeling in my stomach, feels like nerves, the feeling you get before going on a scary roller coaster. It’s a nervous but great feeling. I love the thrill. I want to have that feeling all the time. Rugby is something I’m good at, and passionate about. Simply ~I love to play Goals in life. Though rugby is a big goal of mine, other goals would probably be to travel abroad, see the world and learn new cultures. To continue on with my post-secondary education and studies at home or abroad. What I look forward to on this Howlers tour to Columbia I am excited for this opportunity and look forward to playing rugby with a great team and meeting some new and interesting girls/people. Being a player and an ambassador for Canada is an honor. Going to Columbia to train and play rugby will be unique and something I look forward too as well. © 2014 Microsoft Terms Privacy & cookies Developers English (United States)
