00:14So for this last six months, it's kind of getting back to normal life, back to work,

00:20back to footy training around guys and

00:24back to full-time gym work. So that's how I want it to be from now on.

00:30Yeah, I wouldn't ever throw in the towel, I don't think. I love this sport way too much and

00:45I'm just trying to be involved wherever I can if that's through coaching and

00:50I'm optimistic about playing this year and that's what I want, but

00:54there's a sense of reality that comes into it too, but

00:57fitness-wise, I've never been fitter. Strength-wise or aerobically-wise, I can only build on the platform I've set, so
