He’s a dad of three and a coach, building the next wave of players across South East Queensland.We got into the year at the Dragons where he nearly walked away. Achilles rotting.. rehab on his own.. living on his own.. baby girl back home.. and the question every player avoids: what if this is it?Then why he tells parents to stop coaching their 9-year-olds like NRL players. How he teaches sprinting with a sewing machine. What clubs ACTUALLY ask your kid’s teachers before they sign him.And why the team cops penalties if one bottle gets left on the ground.In this one:How Sticky got him into mentoringThe year at the Dragons nobody sawHook, a public holiday and a training session in the car parkWalking into Manly with his head down.. and Steve Matai holding the doorPaps and the 25-minute drive homeThe sewing machine and the face: how he coaches kids so it sticksWhy athleticism comes first and the footy comes laterBuilding culture in a squad with 13-year-olds and 22-year-olds in itHis daughter’s goal: “I wanna play on TV”You never walk past rubbishFind Dunamis: Wise Up or Dunamis Lui on IG Find me: @thetechnician |
