During a competitive game of rugby, one young player became overwhelmed. He felt as though he didn’t belong on the field with the rest of the players, and he let his coach know this through tears.
When a nearby teammate noticed, he didn’t hesitate to give his friend a much-needed pep talk. He placed his hands on the crying boy’s shoulders, ensuring that they maintained eye contact, and with an inspiring amount of confidence he reassured him that no matter his age, height, or weight, he belongs in that field just as much as everyone else.
“Bud, you are a brilliant rugby player,” said the kind-hearted boy. “You understand that? You are insane. You are actually insane for your age. Come here, give me a hug.”
Following that heartwarming embrace, the insecure boy’s face began to show signs of feeling better, and the two of them ventured back to rejoin the game.
Watch his motivating pep talk below and don’t forget to share with a friend that might need it!
