Day 519 | The Texan
Day 519 | The Texan
This last couple of months has been hard for most of us, but there’s nothing like a quick shot of excitement to get you back on track.
For those of you that don’t know, the bloke on the left is AFL champion and all around good bloke Taylor Walker from the Adelaide Crows. So why is Hudson getting personal advice from him? Well....
After all the time at home, the little fella wasn’t real keen on getting back to the school ground. He didn’t mind home learning with Mum and while that’s a big pat on the back for Simone Leslie , it meant a struggle to get him up and about for when restrictions were released. So, I hit up an agency that deals with AFL stars and was able to organise a little pep talk from Hudson’s favourite player, ‘Tex’.
Taylor told Hudson about how much he loved school as a kid and how important it was not just because of the education but also because you get to “kick the footy at lunchtime with your mates” and “see your girlfriends”. Tex might have gone off-script a little with what I originally told him we needed but the important message was still in there somewhere. And Hudson loved it.
That little dose of motivation from someone much cooler than his Mum and Dad seems to have done the trick. Now the challenge is to get him to focus on maths and science instead of football and girls.
