#53: Broken Neck Derailed NRL Dreams, Creating a Growth Mindset

Elevate March 2025 Retreat: https://elevatewithmets.com/march-2025-retreat/ In this episode, we sit down with Maurice and John, two twin brothers with a rich background in rugby league, a deep connection to their Fijian heritage, and plenty of stories to share. The conversation explores their journey from playing touch footy together as kids to overcoming challenges as twins in structured rugby league setups. They share insights about the transition from free-flowing, instinctual play to adapting to professional structures, along with the role their family and cultural heritage have played in shaping who they are today. The twins reflect on the grounding and transformative experiences of connecting with their Fijian roots, describing the warmth, simplicity, and community of village life. They also touch on the lessons they've learned about family dynamics, gratitude, and staying present in a fast-paced world. The episode wraps with reflections on how traveling to Fiji and similar cultures like Thailand can bring peace, creativity, and clarity, providing a much-needed reset from the stress of daily life. If you’re enjoying these conversations, stay tuned—we’re planning to take this podcast international, with Thailand as the next destination!
