Zealous State of Mind Podcast with the Guru of GainzEp 39 - Theresa Fitzpatrick // Black Ferns SevensWas really cool to connect with Theresa and pick her brain because it's not everyday that you get to talk with someone who is a World Champion in 2 different sports (Rugby Union and Sevens)
What stood out for me from the beginning as we started to talk was that she was onto it and none of her success was a fluke. Theresa is organised, hardworking, driven, very intentional with her decisions and what she trying to achieve. I guess you could say there's an element of luck in anyone's rise to the top in their chosen field b...

In my last few years of high school at Mount Albert Grammar I remember him and his team giving us a few hidings that year including a season opener where we thought we would match it with them. His 2004...
