Recently, former NRL star Johnathan Thurston left the Manly Sea Eagles in awe after delivering a brutally honest talk about his time in jail. The 35-year-old, who was released from jail in January after serving a three-month sentence for assault, spoke to the Sea Eagles players about his experience and the lessons he learned while behind bars.
Thurston’s talk was part of a series of talks given by former NRL stars to the Sea Eagles as part of their “Life After Football” program. The program is designed to help players transition from professional football to life after the game.
During his talk, Thurston spoke candidly about his time in jail and the mistakes he made that led him there. He spoke about the importance of making good decisions and how those decisions can have a lasting impact on your life. He also spoke about the importance of having a strong support system and how it can help you through difficult times.
The Sea Eagles players were reportedly left in awe by Thurston’s talk. They were inspired by his honesty and courage to speak openly about his experience and the lessons he learned while in jail.
Thurston’s talk was a reminder that everyone makes mistakes and that it’s important to learn from them and move forward. His story is an inspiration to anyone who has made a mistake and is looking for a way to move forward. It’s also a reminder that no matter what mistakes you make, it’s possible to turn your life around and make something positive out of it.
The Manly Sea Eagles are thankful for Thurston’s inspiring talk and are hopeful that it will help their players learn from his experience and make better decisions in their own lives.
