Rugby, Cricket and Ballroom dancing
I am an advert follower of all things rugby. Rugby taught me about team support, trusting and believing in your teammate and fighting for a bigger cause. It has also assisted me in growth and being a team captain of my high school team.
Cricket has assisted me in understanding myself and self belief.
Ballroom dancing focused my understanding that for success you do need someone else to trust and hold you up.
