Springbok captain Siya Kolisi spearheaded the Impossible is Nothing campaign at an Adidas event in Cape Town this week, where the stories of 15 other SA athletes were shared.
“Impossible Is Nothing is about seeing possibilities on and off the field of play, perceiving the world not as it is, but as it can be – and inspiring others to do the same,” the apparel maker said.
“South Africans have a strong connection with rugby, so there is a lot of pressure. It [the tour] was tough on us mentally but we pulled together even when we had our backs against the wall,” the Boks skipper said of having to stay in a bio-bubble for months on end, before defeating the All Blacks in their final tour match last week.
Kolisi shared the stage with national teammate Damian Willemse, as well as national under-18 team rugby players Imad Khan, Bruce Sherwood and Suleiman Hartzenberg.
