Interview

What makes you different?

As a young rugby player, I stand out due to my unwavering commitment to personal growth and team success. I thrive in high-pressure situations and constantly seek ways to enhance my skills, whether it’s perfecting my kicking technique or analyzing opponents’ strategies. What truly distinguishes me is my versatility on the field—I bring not only agility and strategic thinking but also leadership and adaptability to any position I play. Off the field, my dedication to fitness, discipline, and teamwork further sets me apart, making me an invaluable asset both on and off the field.

Why do you want to play in the U.S college system?

Playing in the U.S. college system offers a unique opportunity for me to further develop my rugby skills while pursuing a quality education, particularly in Business Supply Chain Management. The U.S. college rugby scene provides a competitive environment that will challenge me to grow as a player, facing diverse opponents and learning from experienced coaches. Additionally, the academic resources and support available at U.S. colleges will enable me to excel in both my athletic and educational pursuits. Moreover, experiencing rugby in a different cultural context will broaden my horizons and help me become a more well-rounded individual, preparing me for success in both rugby and my future career in Supply Chain Management.

Rugby and Life goals

My rugby goals center around continuous improvement and achieving excellence at the highest level possible. In the short term, I aim to establish myself as a key player in my team, contributing to victories and championships. Long-term, I aspire to represent my country at the international level and compete in prestigious tournaments like the Rugby World Cup. Simultaneously, I am passionate about pursuing a Master’s degree in Business Supply Chain Management. My ambition is to leverage my rugby experience, coupled with a strong academic background, to build a successful career in this field. Beyond rugby and academia, I am committed to giving back to the community through coaching and mentorship, embodying values of leadership, integrity, and resilience both on and off the rugby field.
