Kia Ora Gareth I never see you as a little person, what I see and enjoy watching, is a good honest passionate Rugby man who has a remarkable and analytical mind that can give sensible and unbiased comments about rugby and the excitement of the Rugby world cup. love it my mate keep it up. Werahiko Craven from Whanganui NZ
Dude great motivational story! 👍 don't worry what the haters Say, your a hero in my books! Bless you and I'll get my mates to subscribe n share. Finally worked out how to comment on here! Lol
Good on you Gareth ,inspiring stuff mate. One of my sons is partially blind and was told by some idiot teacher he would never amount to much ,he had an OP score of 19 [ this is for university placement 1 being the highest 24 being the lowest here in Queensland ]. At age 21 he had his Bachelors by the time he was 24 he had his Masters and was asked to take up his doctorate thesis ,he was on the deans list twice .This turnaround was because his family backed him and went into bat for him time and again as did a couple of the better teachers he had plus he was detetmined to show his worth. Never listen to those who want to keep you down ,tell them to get stuffed and prove them wrong whether their intentions are for good or ill.
Great story Gareth. I remember when I played a rugby match against the McAllen Knights and their scrumhalf was a little person. He was the most commited player in the whole game, up to this day I remember him. Keep up the stories and the great vids coming :D.
Now I understand why you always say "Never give up" at the end of your videos. What an inspirational story! I bet you'd make a great personal coach, Gareth.
Brilliant Gareth......desire wins over ability every time. You can always learn the ability but the desire is always harder to 'learn'.....you got it! Well done and thanks for your 6 Nations Rugby Analysis......A Scotland fan still buzzing after Saturday at Murrayfield. My first ever Rugby game as a supporter was at Kings Park (Natal v N Transvaal). I lived in PmBurg at the time, since that day over 30 years ago I have loved the sport. Now back in the UK, but always grateful to RSA for introducing me to the glorious game! Lets crash through the 3k subscriber mark!
I would have made you cricket captain too mate-you motivate, inspire and lead by example. Well done little fella, anybody that doesn’t take you seriously is sadly lacking. Love listening to your channel.
This is why I enjoy watching your videos because of the passion that you have for sport. You keep it real and simple and it does motivate me and others to better myself at life in general!
Hi Gareth, I've been battling depression for two years, its taken a lot out me and cost me some very dear people. Your story really resonated with me, I'm sure you'll keep proving the doubters wrong. Who knows, maybe we'll see you on Super Sport yet eh?
the world is your oyster with a pearl on top g-man with dwarfism comes a large heart passion love of sport you are a inspiration keep up the good work an thanxs for sharing your story god bless be safe
Incredible story gareth, I'm one of the new guys and one thing that strikes me already is your speaking ability. Seriously, your communication is impeccable. Your intonation, lack of filler words and passion make you very captivating. You should consider doing some public talks or something! Other than that, congratulations on having such a dogged resilience in overcoming your obstacle towards not only making the team, but becoming captain! Keep it up.
Enjoyed listening to your story, Gareth. I have a challenging 2018 to look forward to, so listening to your experience is inspirational. Can't wait for the rugby to start again.
Great insight into your character, Gareth. I find it amazing when people have passions that motivate them to that level. I don't think, personally, I have found any one thing that I am that passionate about. For a lot of people, myself included, it is less about attaining one's dreams and more about trying to understand what one's dreams are. I'm happy that for you, you knew and achieved. That's pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing such a personal story.
Hey Michael, thanks so much for the kind words and for sharing your story. So true what you are saying about understanding what one's dreams are. Thanks so much for watching!
G-man, as a Kiwi living in OZ I look for good commentary and you have it in spades. With your accent and likeable nature you'd be a great TV commentator like Nisbo.
Been watching your six nations vids and loving them. Your story is amazing to have never given up through all that time...big credit. I’ve always said sports is made of opinions and I’m glad you got the opportunity to prove yourself through another coach’s opinion that yes you were indeed good enough, not only to play but also captain a side👍 Just wanted to share a quick story with you about me and my twin brother. We’re hugely into sports and had a difficulty at times ie I was making teams scoring goals but my bro was a defender and a lot of managers didn’t pick him from time to time this was difficult, but in the end he captained our local soccer team to an unprecedented treble...I was never as happy in sport and I can tell you it felt very justified and vindicated that he achieved this as I felt I was never the better twin as people used to say, I was just the forward who scored 😉
This is a fantastic story! Think it says a lot about the character of the individual to carry on the want to play sports that bad! Huge respect! No wonder you’re a captain, I would have listened with the utmost respect.
Your words are an inspiration to me. I thank you, Gareth for sharing your story and past troubles. By the way love your videos, keep it up! Im English btw so watching your 6nations video recently.... not happy about the boys :)
wow! you really are an inspiration man! Makes me feel i can do anything. Well done man. Cant wait for your rugby videos by the way, in my opinion they are the best rugby predicton and analysis videos on the internet.
They say bro, if you wear an ABs jersey you grow 6 feet 😉. On a serious note, Plenty of upsides to being short bro. Arivinda De Silva was 5'2"(?) and a short of a length ball went over midwicket for 6. You can buy kids/youth size cricket bats which are cheaper. I've seen small blokes get in with kids priced entrance fees. Work with what you've got!
i honestly don't see any reason for a little person not to play sports. You can move, run, tackle etc... You could even play rugby, at scrum-half for sure.
