Having read the article “Character and experiences are your aces in life’ published in the West Australian yesterday, I need to say that the level headed comments from the article are a breath of fresh air compared to the hyped up media stories we have been bombarded with lately.

It was genuinely refreshing to hear someone state the obvious fact, that if you have a passion for sport and you are given a rare, (well paid) opportunity to make it your career, why wouldn’t you make the most of it, financially and socially?

I shall pin this article on my wall at work and hope that everyone reads it.
