Who are you?
Hi, welcome to JAAQ Scott Steele, Scrum off. Really looking forward to answering your questions.
What motivates you?
To be the best that I can be to make sure that I don't look back and think I had more potential, but I didn't really go for it, or I could have achieved this, but I didn't. I've had times in my career where that's happened and I sort of looked back and thought, I've wasted years of my career not being professional enough. So for me now, it's to make sure I'm doing everything I can to be the best that I can be.
How do you deal with setbacks?
I think they are extremely tough, and no one really teaches you how to do that, but I think you've just got to go back to it's why you play the sport. It's about enjoying it. It's about making memories with your teammates, and if you sort of play the victim and think that everyone's against you, it's not going to get you anywhere. You've got to obviously take a bit of time to reflect on what's happened and hurt for a while, but then after that you've got to get a plan in place to make sure that you can either prove people wrong, that maybe doubted you and proved to yourself as well that you're good enough to achieve something that you want to.
