Steve Devine is one of the toughest men to ever pull on a rugby jersey. A proud Aussie who moved over to NZ for an opportunity with Auckland, where he quickly made NZ home. Where the fearless competitive halfback played a huge part in Auckland and the Blues success. From that came an his chance to wear the All Black jersey which he managed to do 10 times.
But behind that toughness was a brutal reality, years of repeated head knocks that left him battling crippling migraines, light sensitivity, and a fight just to feel human again.
In this episode, Steve opens up on:
- Life growing up in Australia and why the move to NZ
- Stories from the Auckland and Blues glory days
- The 40+ concussions that changed his life
- The miracle treatment that helped him get his life back
- How he’s now leading the charge with NeuroCheck, a game-changing concussion scanner
- How he's found his transition with life after rugby becoming a fireman
And heaps more
Steve story is honest, powerful, emotional and even shocking at times. Sharing his story from a place of just wanting to help others and for no one having to go through what he has been through. He is such a champion lad and let me know what you thought of the episode in the comments.
