And then, as you said, you spent most of your sort of young life in New Zealand.
matched
And were you always into athletics from a really young age?
matched
Because it's one of those things, Eddie, that you either really want to be like your dad and follow in their footsteps.
matched
But sometimes when the footsteps are so big and they've done such great things, it's almost like, oh, I'm not sure whether I can actually be as good as my dad.
matched
And you don't kind of want to live in his shadow.
matched
I mean, what he did was amazing, representing New Zealand, 100 metre champion.
matched
Commonwealth Games, Olympic Games, National Record Holder in the 100 metres.
matched
Like, there's some pretty special numbers that your dad put up.
matched
Was that a pressure growing up or was it something you just wanted to be like your dad?
matched
Yeah, absolutely.
matched
And I mean, when you were representing New Zealand, you were running really, really quickly, but you missed the Commonwealth Games squads and the Olympic squads sort of around that sort of 2021, 2022.

matched
I know that there's some issues with your phone, but that's that we're just hanging in there, but you decided that you would go and try American football as a wide receiver in the university of Hawaii.
matched
Uh, why, why did you do that?
matched
Cause that, that seems a bit random in your, in your journey.
matched
And were you good at it?
matched
Honestly, no.
