Half-time Chat with Siv & Seabelo Senatla

--:--
"I'm not just a try-scoring machine..."

Seabelo Senatla has never been satisfied with being average. The speedster wants to accomplish what few, if any, have achieved: to be a legend in both Sevens and 15s rugby. A record holder in the 7s World Series, Senatla's transition to 15-a-side has not been without its challenges. But those challenges only seem to spur him on to his long-term goal.

In this chat with Siv, Seabelo confirms his unfinished business with the Olympics, his Springbok dream and the real driving force behind his rugby success. This is a story of ongoing change.

Quotes & talking points from Seabelo's interview with Siv Ngesi:

+ "Bigger is not always better"
+ "When my parents wanted to punish me they said I couldn't do sport"
+ Humility: blame it on the parents
+ "I feel like I've never been able to fully build on what I achieved"
+ "This 15s journey has been the most difficult of my career"
+ The goal: wearing green & gold for the Springboks
+ "I'm running on that field for someone else"
+ "I'm not just a try-scoring machine..."
+ "You can't stay the same, you have to evolve
