SCHOLARSHIP
In October 2020 he became a recipient of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame [SAHOF] Scholarship and Mentoring Programme. He will be paired with SAHOF member and Australian rugby player George Gregan as his mentor. "It came as a big surprise and I couldn't be more grateful to be a part of this programme. The SAHOF scholarship has provided me with a once in lifetime opportunity to talk to a sporting legend, George Gregan, one on one, something I'll never forget. Over the next 12 months I hope to learn as much as I possibly can from George and to gain new wisdom and skills that will help me for the rest of my life."
