"None of us indigenous kids had ever heard about American football being played by Australians, but here was this Brisbane boy going to the States and doing so well in college and then going on to the NFL," she said.

"To me, it made dreams seem possible. If he can do that, I can do that as well. He's really an inspiration to all of us."

Quote
"I would never have the opportunity to create a huge facility if I hadn't had to face the adversity I have and come out on top," he said. "I think I'll be more successful in reaching people. I speak with more conviction in my voice when I talk about adversity because I've had so much of it. It has more weight when I talk to people."

His goal is to help more Australians follow the path he took toward American athletics, particularly earning college scholarships and enjoying the life-changing experiences those can bring. His work is mentorship as much as coaching, he said, stressing the value of education. He stands as the example, having received his degree in human sciences from Alabama.

Good to see he is doing well, both with his health and his business.

Great post 2, this is the answer to a lot of out prayers that Jesse is doing okay and seems to have discovered a business that couldn't fit him more. I hope Arthur and family are doing as well. #+

Yeah, was really glad to see that article. More relieved to see that Jesse is healthy more than anything else. I may try to reach out to Kuiyam and see how everybody else is doing.
