Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
Coach La’anui Correa. He taught me a lot when it comes to technique and doing your job. But why I picked him as my best coach is for the reason that he pushed me past my breaking point and did not stop. He broke me to a point where I knew I needed to come with my best everyday or else I would not play. Knowing his background, all the players on the team feared him and I wanted to uphold that. He got the best out of me and he praised me when he it was necessary. I’m thankful for him.
What should athletes and parents know about you?
You should know that I’m full Polynesian! Half Tongan and half Samoan. Very family oriented guy and always been around the game. From the ins and outs to just knowing the basics of the game. When it comes to this game. I only know one way to play it. to the best of my ability and using everything I got everyday to get better.

How can you help someone improve their game?
I want to be able to work with the player and see what skills and how they move. I want to know their knowledge of the game and be able to progress all of those components. Doing all of these things with 100% effort and heart. Being able to push the person past their limits will ultimately improve the players game.
What does a typical training session look like?
Warm up/stretching for 15-20mins,
Basic fundamental drills for 10mins, technique drills 15 mins, Live reps 10mins, conditioning 10 mins. So about an hour and 10mins. Training session has got to be quick and it has to be structured.
