In Conversation with Steven Kitshoff
Interviewer: Hey Steven! Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to chat with us today. How have things been on the rugby front lately?
Steven Kitshoff: It’s a pleasure! Always good to talk about rugby. Things have been pretty intense—training sessions, team meetings, and of course, making sure we’re ready for the upcoming matches. The competition is as fierce as ever!
Interviewer: I can imagine! Speaking of intensity, you’re known for your power and technique on the field. How do you maintain that level, both physically and mentally?
Steven Kitshoff: Oh, it’s a combination of good old hard work and smart recovery. Physically, it’s about following a tailored fitness program. Mentally, I try to stay focused by setting personal goals and keeping a positive mindset. The support from my teammates and coaches also plays a huge role.
Interviewer: That sounds like a solid approach. You’ve had some memorable matches. Do you have a particular game that stands out for you?
Steven Kitshoff: Definitely! I’d say the 2019 Rugby World Cup final against England. The atmosphere was electric, and the stakes were incredibly high. Winning that match and lifting the trophy was an indescribable feeling. It was a testament to the hard work and determination of the entire team.
Interviewer: That sounds amazing! Shifting gears a bit, what do you like to do when you’re not on the field?
Steven Kitshoff: When I’m off the field, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love cooking, especially trying out new recipes and experimenting in the kitchen. It’s a great way to relax and unwind. Also, I’m a bit of a movie buff, so watching a good film is always a go-to for me.
Interviewer: Cooking! That’s awesome. What’s your signature dish?
Steven Kitshoff: I’d say my signature dish is a classic steak with a twist. I like to marinate it in a special blend of spices and cook it to perfection. Pair that with some roasted veggies, and you have a meal fit for a rugby player!
Interviewer: That sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing, Steven. Before we wrap up, any advice for aspiring rugby players out there?
Steven Kitshoff: Absolutely! My advice would be to stay dedicated and never lose sight of your goals. Rugby is a tough sport, but the hard work and sacrifices are worth it. Always be willing to learn and grow, both on and off the field. And most importantly, enjoy the game. It’s the passion for rugby that will drive you forward.
Interviewer: Fantastic advice, Steven. Thanks again for your time and insights. Best of luck with your upcoming matches!
Steven Kitshoff: Thanks! It was great chatting with you. Cheers!
