I met up
with Louie Kesson in the larbert high school library to talk a bit about rugby,
Louie currently plays like a high standard of rugby playing for Stirling County
and Larbert high school. I spoke to Louie about his ambitions and goals in rugby
as well as asking him about his weekly training and diet. Louie was happy to
answer my questions
 |
| Want to play rugby? You've got to adopt the rugby pose, we call it the LHS haka..!! |
“What age were you when you started playing
rugby?”
“Erm well I
had just turned 13 and I had just started watching rugby and took interest in
the sport after my brother became a coach”
“So who inspired you to start playing
rugby?”
“My brother, I didn’t have
any rugby experience and he started playing. I always kind of looked up to him so
I wanted to play as well”
“What’s your typical week
of training and what’s your diet like?”
“I train two, sometimes
three times a week and I don’t really have a diet as such I just eat food when
I want and I eat what I want”
“What is your ultimate
goal in rugby?”
“To play regionals maybe
even internationals and get as many caps for my country as possible and
hopefully get better and score lots of tries and stop some as well ”
“Where do you see
yourself in seven years?”
“In seven years hopefully
playing for the Caley squad (Caley is a top level rugby team who don’t play
games but do high level training a few days a week )”
“How do you feel
Scotland did in this year’s world cup?”
“I think we done well for
our standards and in previous years they have been quite bad but to get to the
quarter finals and to be the last team left from our part of the world”
“do you think we
deserved to get to the semi-finals?
“Yes but
it’s all over now there’s not much you can do about it now ,probably we could
have got to the final but we need to look into the future and we should just
try and make up for it in the six nations
“What advice would you
give to someone young starting rugby?”
“I would say
try your best if your fast you’re a back if you’re strong you’re a forward but
either way try and make sure you practice everything and work on something you’re
not as good at and try and get good at it”
“What are your best
aspects in rugby are and what do you need to work on “
“I would say I am
particularly good at running past people and I need to work on my tackling”
Hopefully Louie achieves
his goals and gets the chance to play for his country. First he has to perform
well for the Caledonia squad from there who knows how far he could go. Thanks Louie for answering our questions,
we’ll keep you updated with his progress throughout the year.
