The best motivational speech I’ve ever heard
I’ve heard my fair share of motivational speeches. One of the best was from my dad, John, a long time before I became NSW Origin captain. He coached me for a year in under 11s at the Camden Rams, and that was probably the highlight of my time in junior footy. We had too many players for one team at the club, so we had to split in two. Dad took one of them and we won the grand final against the other Camden side – that was pretty cool. A lot of my mates played in that team and I’m still close friends with them today, and they love to tell this story when they’re having a drink.

Some of my earliest memories were of going to watch my dad, Troy, play footy. If he wasn’t playing, and I wasn’t playing, the footy was on the telly and I loved nothing more than just sitting down with my old boy watching it. I didn’t get much choice in it at the start, but luckily for me I’ve always enjoyed watching it and learning about the game, and from that young age I always dreamt of doing it myself at a high level. I never got to see dad at the peak of his powers when he was playing for Norths and Redcliffe in the Brisbane Rugby League competition, which had a lot of prestige to it, but he kept playing into his late 30s. I remember as a 10-year-old being the ball boy for dad’s footy games when we moved to Central Queensland and he was playing in the Mack...
