Sport before rugby
Prior to rugby I was a gymnast and an athlete, representing the latter at state level for a couple of years.
How and Why Rugby?
I’ve always had the intention of joining a local rugby club but could only do so after I graduated from college because my parents were concerned about injuries. As of 2010, I have been playing for slightly more than three years.
How does rugby differ from your previous sport?
It’s definitely much more dynamic and physical. Like any other sport, there’s a psychological golden mean; or the zone, that one hopes to reach in order to compete at one‘s peak. Rugby, in particular, requires one to be in the zone when it is demanded of us, as an individual and more importantly as a team, which makes it one of the most challenging team sports I’ve ever played in.
