Yeah, it's a tough mental battle, eh?

Like, what you're going through.

Yeah, it is, eh?

Um...

Yeah, I just, yeah, like it's, it's probably the big, um, the one I'm going through now.

There's probably a lot of little stuff in my life that have, um,

that uh like hard from getting through uh well yeah i just said it's hard bringing into it but yeah it's i don't even know how to explain it like it's just it's just like i've got this vision in my head of a five-year-old kid got a rugby ball in his hand and it's under his arm and he's got a smile in the air and but you can just see that he loves it

He lives and breathes this game.

And I just wish now that that kid's proud of me.

Like, obviously, I didn't become a professional rugby player, but I just, like, I just, it's like I wonder that, but I'm never going to know.

Like, was I going to be a professional rugby player?

But I just, for some reason, I just want, I wish that kid would be proud of me.

Yeah, so I've actually got like two counsellors on board at the moment.

So I've got like one counsellor, he's a trans counsellor, but he's a, he's more of a mate to me.

We just, at school, he was my counsellor, but now he's more of just like a mate and we just like yarn and stuff like that.

And I talk about rugby a little bit.

And then I've got an actual counsellor there.

It's quite funny because I got a hold of him last year when I was at uni.

And it was quite funny because I was dealing with emotions with rugby, like how do I deal with being nervous, all that type of stuff.

And now it's quite funny because I'm dealing with, you know, the other end of rugby.
