In a year plagued with setbacks, Ben Liyou of the Gold Coast Titans has emerged as an absolute game-changer, albeit off the field.
While his ACL injury may have sidelined him during the 2023 season, Liyou managed to turn adversity into an impressive triumph.
As reported by titans.com.au, Liyou's dedication and focus during his rehab period led to an incredible achievement: graduating from Griffith University with a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours).
This milestone showcases Liyou's unwavering commitment and determination to excel in both his academic pursuits and his beloved sport of rugby league.
Juggling a demanding 12-week placement at a 3D printing company and a daunting 50-page thesis alongside his rugby league commitments, Liyou proved that he is not just a force on the field, but also a master at balancing his academic and sporting responsibilities.
This remarkable feat is a testament to his unwavering work ethic and passion for both numbers and science.
