I've got confidence that I'll be able to pick it up eventually, but that's the reason I'm a full-time Sevens player this year: because I knew coming into it that it would be really tough, and I've got to give it my all.
Managing a club like Oldham has to be an all-absorbing, seven-days-a-week commitment.
We cannot be part-time Christians! We should seek to live our faith at every moment of every day.
You have to be extremely fit. It is a professional sport. We have five shows a week. In 2014, I had 220 matches; in 2015, I was on the way to a similar amount before I got hurt. It is a full-time lifestyle. It is very demanding.
I don't know if I have the patience and I don't have a trainers license but I will help out. Whether I want to do that full time, I doubt it.
My work to promote education and literacy in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan has become my life's mission. This takes a full-time commitment 365 24/7.
