Like I said earlier. On a Monday morning me and my team mates drag ourselves to training. On a Tuesday it's not so bad. On a Wednesday it's great. Thursday the adrenaline rush starts to kick in. Friday, let's get 'em! Saturday you ache but doing all of the family things or just normal everyday things like shopping. Then later on I go watch some amateur rugby teams. Watching the players fight to be at the top of the league table. Fighting to make something of themselves. Then go out on the piss. Then Sunday sleep in and go see family. That's my week, every week. It's all most like a routine is put in place.
I've always had a weak ankle, ever since I was little. I have never broken it so I don't know why it's the way it is. I can walk on it properly just sometimes it aches. Because of my ankle when I first started to play rugby it was a struggle and it got in my way. I had to do something to stop it from being such a blocker. But now it's fine I can tolerate it. I strap it up for every game. I do ankle exercises whenever I can. And when we do warm up I do a lot of work on my ankle. I don't know what I would do if it couldn't play for 2 months because I was stupid and didn't take care of my ankle.
Many people didn't believe that I would make it. I had a great upbringing with everything I wanted and needed. However I was brought up in not a nice town. There was a lot of crime in the centre but thankfully I lived on the outskirts. So because I came from a bad town and went to a bad school, I wasn't going to make it. That's what so many people said to me and thought about me. But I got all good grades, I always excelled, I always had the need to push myself to become myself. But only I believed truly. Others believed, but no one believed as much as me. Don't hope for anything - hope is internal misery. But believe, it inspires you, it makes you want to achieve and become more.
I hate when people tell me what they want to do. 'I want to be a doctor' I want never gets. Be confident. Believe. Say 'I am going to be a doctor.' You will make
it if you want it enough. Many people say to me that if you change your mind in what you want to do then you won't achieve. Don't believe that. That is a lie. I didn't change my mind but there is nothing wrong with changing it. Some people won't be sure. Some people grow out of things. Most people change. But you don't have to become a doctor because you said when you was younger that you wanted to be one. Be one because you want to be one.
