The burning desire to be a NRL player is back for Chanel Harris-Tavita, and it is burning brighter than ever.
The young rugby league star has decided to take matters into his own hands and start his own mini pre-season, showing just how determined he is to succeed.
Unfortunately, this intense training regimen resulted in a groin injury that sent shockwaves through the club's physio staff.
However, this setback didn't dampen Harris-Tavita's spirits.
After a year of adventure and exploring, he realized that he missed the structure and routine that being a professional athlete brings.
It takes a certain level of honesty to admit that you miss something so deeply, and Harris-Tavita displayed that honesty in his decision to return.
As he embarks on this new chapter, he knows that he won't be an automatic first-choice player like before.
But that won't deter him, as he hopes his journey inspires others to ask themselves the tough questions in their own careers.
