Sebastian is in his second year of rugby. In the last month Seb has come over the crest of the hill in terms of motivation and skill. Last year he hardly understood the sport, often making him hesitant to engage in play. A few weeks ago he participated in a tournament where he played four games (he was supposed to play three games but at the last minute substituted for another player) and impressed is coaches quite a bit. Halfway through the first game his coach (Kate) said, “Sebastian, you’re tackling like a demon!” At the end of the game Kate was full of praise for Sebastian and said to me, “Sebastian is on fire today!” The following week when the coaches handed out pennants (Hong Kong rugby equivalent of Most Valuable Players) Kate had arranged for Seb to receive one. Sebastian was so shocked that he walked quite tentatively to the head coach, as can be seen in the video below.

Half way through a restless night, I have just read this encouraging blog about how well Sebastion did at his Rugby. Having, at one time, coached a High School ‘Rugby’, Canadian Style, team, I am particularly pleased with Sebastions achievement. Well done Seb!
