Scott Fuglistaller- What a Lad

from What a Lad

Scott Fuglistaller was one of those champion team mates who did everything he could to be the best he could be. Unfortunately for the self acclaimed battler it was just never quite enough during his time at the Hurricanes competing with some pretty gifted athletes. He found a way though with moves to the Highlanders and then the Melbourne Rebels for him to become a regular Super Rugby starter and even captain. Sitting at a natural weight of around 80kgs, Scotty had to work so hard in the gym and with his diet to get to a weight that he could survive in the forwards at Super Rugby level. That came at a price, having 11 major surgeries during his career which took it's toll. Some other parts that stood out for me in this one were..The freedom Scotty had growing up which meant he grew up quickHow finding rugby was a turning point in his lifeHow he got from 80kg to 106kgsHis battles with self confidence and why he played his best under pressureWhy he moved to Japan and his time playing thereThe struggle of life after rugbyAnd how he landed in his current role of helping retired players tranisition with the NZRPA.As you'll hear Scotty has had a journey to get where he is, he's such a top man who will always put others first.
