ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Jehezekiel “Jez” Tekii

Forge & Field Rugby | Forward Department

Some athletes wait to be told what to do. Jez listens, applies the lesson, and keeps improving long after training ends.

I first met Jez earlier this year while away with the CQ Bushrangers U16s, and his coachability stood out immediately. He was attentive, receptive to feedback, and willing to put instruction into action, clear signs of a young athlete driven about reaching his potential.

What impressed me most was learning that Jez keeps his own player journal and diary. At just 16, he is already showing the self-discipline and ambition to take ownership of his rugby journey.

Currently representing The Rockhampton Grammar School & Frenchville Sports Club , Jez is a versatile forward who plays across the back row and second row. With five years of rugby experience and several representative opportunities behind him, he is building a strong foundation.

But what really caught my attention wasn't his résumé. It was his mindset.

When I asked about his aspirations, his answer was simple:

"To play for the All Blacks or Australia one day."

When I asked why, his response wasn't about fame or recognition. It was about providing for his family, his love of rugby, and inspiring other kids to chase their dreams.

His idol is God,Jesus, and his favourite rugby player is Ardie Savea.

One question, however, stood out. I asked Jez:

"Imagine you've made it. You're a professional rugby player representing the All Blacks. What message would you send back to your younger self?"

His response was powerful:

"Don't let others talk you down. Block out the outside noise. Do what you do and build on it. Other people's opinions don't matter as much as your own. Your biggest enemy is yourself."

For a 16-year-old athlete, that's a remarkable perspective.

I also respect that Jez doesn't pretend to have everything figured out. He recognises the areas of his game that need improvement.

His immediate goal is to earn an opportunity within a rugby academy. His ultimate goal is professional rugby.

Blessed to forge a path on the field for Jez & passionate to watch him succeed.

🐻 THE FORWARD DEPARTMENT 🏉

Incredibly proud of the amazing athletes we have in the Forward Department. Their willingness to learn, challenge themselves and back each other is what makes coaching this group so rewarding.

Through Forge & Field Rugby, I’m helping these athletes develop the skills, confidence and understanding to make an impact as forwards.

💥 Scrummaging technique and set-piece roles
💥 Tackle technique and defensive decision-making
💥 Ball carrying, body position and contact skills
💥 Lineout, maul and breakdown detail
💥 Movement patterns and understanding their role within the team

Every session has a purpose. We break down the detail, build strong habits and put those skills into live scenarios with pressure. Video feedback helps athletes see what they’re doing, understand why it matters and identify what to work on next.

For me, it’s about helping each athlete understand their strengths, take ownership of their development and bring more confidence onto the field.

📣 FREE CONSULTS AVAILABLE

Want to know how I can support your development—or your child’s—as a FORWARD or BACK ? I’m available for a free consult to talk through goals, areas to improve and how we can work together.
