Rugby Player
For the past three years, I’ve been serving as the central playmaker for my team, a role that involves orchestrating the flow of the game and creating scoring opportunities. As a playmaker, I’m responsible for controlling the pace, making strategic passes, and positioning myself to both defend and attack effectively. My role requires a deep understanding of the game, sharp decision-making skills, and the ability to read the play as it unfolds. Over this period, I’ve honed my skills in distributing the ball, finding and exploiting spaces, and communicating with teammates to ensure a cohesive and dynamic performance on the field.
