This quote strongly resonates with my ongoing personal development. Small positive changes can make a huge, often unseen impact on the peoples lives we come in contact with on our own journey.
Thank you for all the positive impact people have had on my own personal journey over the many years ๐๐ค๏ฟผ ๐

Fabulous time this morning watching my grandchildren Madi Rae and TJ playing their under 8yrs Rugby League match against Ponsonby at Victoria Park. So proud of them both, Madi, aggressive as ever and 6yr old TJ punching well above his age with the bigger children. Both definitely showing both their dadโs and mumโs sporting genes. ๐๐๐

Hi everyone, meet 49yr old Ben Croxford, Ben from the age of 18 to 28 played Rugby League for the Howick Club as a centre, out in East Auckland and continues to play touch rugby which he has done most of his sporting career. Now Ben has a new goal in his sights. The 60 and 100metres sprints at the next years World Masters Athletic Championships being held in Kansai Japan ๐ฏ๐ตin the 50 to 54yrs age group in May of next year. Ben is progressing extremely well and is ticking all the boxes in his build up to this coming 2026 - 2027 Auckland Athletics Season for his preparation for Japan. Ben has extremely fast leg speed, absolutely focused and adapts very well to new technique and training changes. I firmly believe this 49yr old โathleticโ novice will definitely make his presence felt in the Master sprint events this coming Auckland athletic season. Top stuff Ben my Man, I canโt wait to see all your training and preparations put into action. Steve โThe Old Manโ ๐๐๐
