Everybody always wants so much from life. You get what you get, no more, no less. On a Monday morning me and my team mates would drag ourselves to training. I'm a rugby player. I play on a Friday night. If I aren't playing then I'm training. All I ever do is rugby. It's my love, my life, my passion. My friends and family never thought I would make it. But I have and now, I'm a sensation. But becoming a sensation means you lose something. To earn you have to lose. Unless it's in a game. You gain points to win, and when you win your earn and when you earn you feel proud. I got myself there when no one else believed in me.
I'm not one of these millionaires. I aren't a footballer who just throws the money about, lives in a mansion and is the bees knees - no. I play a hard sport. A rough sport. A gentleman's sport. When I get tacked I carry on. When football players fall they get a stretcher to carry them off. I just live in a normal house in a common town. I live in Leeds, I own a regular semi-detached house, on a regular estate on a regular street. The only special thing about me is, when I get the ball I run. And I run hard.
It was always my passion to be a rugby player. All of my family love it. Growing up I wanted to be a professional player, all my other friends wanted to be footballers, nurses, doctors, lawyers. Everything but what I wanted to be. I was unique. Every week they wanted to be something else, but every week for me was a week closer to achieving my dream. I was never the brightest spark, I was in all top sets but I just wasn't smart. And I know that doesn't make sense but I just wasn't a bright kid. I knew I could make too much of my self. I could maybe like work in big companies and be like a sales representative or an air hostess. Something which used a lot of social skills. I enjoy socialising.
'A dream is just a dream , your mind will change.' A dream is something to give you courage, something to aspire you, something to put your mind towards. Something to smash! When your hit your dream you have done great, but don't stop there, try and be more. My dream excelled, I became a rugby player, I got a scholarship, I got into an academy. I am professional. When I became professional, I smashed my dream. I achieved my dream but I then achieved a lot more from it. Dreams aren't boundaries, try and push forward from them try and push yourself further. To the max.
