Ep 07 - Mitch Hunt | From the Crusaders to the Highlanders and Dealing with Troll Comments Online
I sat down and talked to Tasman Mako and Highlanders Number 10 Mitchell Hunt.
We talked about his journey to where he is and his decision to shift from the Crusaders down south to the Highlanders. I asked about the differences between the two franchises and if any of the landers boys gave him a bit of stick about his infamous dropkick against the Highlanders a few years prior.
We finished by talking about how he deals with comments and messages online after a bad performance and then talked about what is so special about playing for the Tasman Mako.
This was a cool one for me personally, as I grew up playing U15,16 and 1st XV footy with Mitch at Nelson College, and it's awesome to hear about his journey and to see where he has got to!
