​While living down south for 4 years i had the pleasure of meeting Tyson through Rugby Southland. I didn’t know much about him but quickly found out he isn’t one to muck around when it comes to getting into shape. At the start with Tyson he took the time to understand my levels of strength and fitness and used these to help me set goals and challenges that helped me start my professional rugby career. Especially with how cold it gets down there it’s hard to want to stay motivated but Tyson always had a line in the sand with where we can have fun and when it’s time to work hard. I can’t thank Tyson enough for the help and support that he’s given at the start of my career.
