Defy the limitations people put on you.
When you hear Beast Mode, you automatically go to my size, but I always say the strongest thing I own is not my chest, my legs, not my arms. It's my mind. It's that mindset that says: Look, you're not always going to succeed but don't take it as a loss, take it as a lesson. That's the mindset of Beast Mode.
People only see what they want to see and sometimes you can't do anything about that, so you just pick up the baton and you just run with it.
Training to be a tough tackler isn't easy - you don't want to injure yourself or team-mates so it's crucial that you have self-belief in your abilities and strength.
As a big man you may struggle to get much height when jumping for a ball - but by training with your defender team-mates you can develop a technique for making strong challenges in the air, making defenders uncomfortable and work on taking the ball down.
Don't try to kid yourself that your game is about pace if it isn't. If you're a big guy like me you need to look at how similarly built players use that physical presence to influence a game. Accept that your build may have some limitations - but plenty of plus points too.
I'm aware that there are a lot of guys playing at amateur level with a build like mine and I say stick at it, use what you've got to make an impact on the game.
As long as I am feeling good I will play football. As long as I am feeling fit, strong and being affective on and off the pitch, I will play the game I love.

Even though I am getting my coaching badges, I am more into mentoring.
People have tried to push me into other sports, but it's always been football.
I've always been big, my brothers are my size, we come from good stock.
I'd always been one of the strongest players in the game, but officially in 'Fifa 14' I was the strongest in the world. If they say so, I must be. I like that.
I like being the biggest on the pitch, I don't want to look at the other guys and think his arms are bigger than mine.
Look, nobody can begrudge Steven Gerrard doing what he wants to do. He has just been a legend.
If you have a love for something, you persevere.
My Christian faith has guided me.
I was asked to go in a banana suit once or eat as many doughnuts as possible. I would not do those things. I don't eat doughnuts so why would I eat 20.
Kids are a product of their environment.
It may sound cliched, but it just shows that when you don't let people put you in a box then anything can happen.
Football was my saving grace so I want to let people know that you can achieve whatever you want. People like to concentrate on what you can't do, so let's preach what you can. Why would I want to talk about not being quick when I'm strong? That's what I want to get across.
