“Voor die wedstryd het ek vir myself ges\u00ea: g\u00e9\u00e9n spyt nie. Ek moes als op die veld los. Ek het dit vir my ma gedoen wat verlede jaar oorlede is. Sy was my inspirasie.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maart, wat in 2024 as Griquas se Spe- ler van die Jaar aangewys is, s\u00ea hy het hard gewerk om te wys dat dit nie net ‘n eenmalige prestasie was nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek probeer elke week my beste gee \u2013 eerstens vir myself, en dan vir die span. Ons veg vir mekaar, op en van die veld. Dis lekker om te weet jou spanmaats staan agter jou.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die steun van sy afrigter en spanmaats speel ‘n groot rol in sy selfvertroue. “Wanneer jy daai backing van jou coach kry, kan jy jouself uitleef. En as jou spanmaats jou besluite vertrou, weet jy julle is op dieselfde golflengte. Dis iets besonders.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maart is onlangs opgeneem in ‘n voorlopige Stormersgroep. Die kans om homself teen die w\u00eareld se bestes te meet, is iets wat hy nie ligtelik opneem nie. “Om net daar te wees is al klaar groot vir my. Ek hou van die manier hoe hulle speel \u2013 om die bal te laat leef, nes ons by die Griquas doen. En hul kultuur is baie spesiaal. Ek sien dit as ‘n kans om myself teen die bestes te toets.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anders as baie professionele spelers het Maart eers n\u00e1 skool ernstig begin rugby speel. Sy pad was nie maklik nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek moes werk en rugby speel. N\u00e1 werk het ek in my safety boots tot by Boland-stadion gedraf. Dit was moei- lik, maar ek het geweet God sien elke opoffering.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy gee erkenning aan mentors soos oom Moos by Terason, Reggie Manuel en Franzel September by Boland, maar ook aan die mense naby aan sy hart.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Cheslin Kolbe en Kurt-Lee Arendse inspireer my op die veld. Maar buite die veld is dit my ouma Lily en sustertjie Lee-Shay.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir Maart is die uiteindelike droom om die Springbok-trui aan te trek. Maar vir hom is dit meer as net ‘n persoonlike doelwit \u2013 dis ‘n getuienis van geloof, familie en volharding. “As jy God eerste stel en Hom betrek in alles wat jy doen, sal jy sukses sien.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek doen dit ook vir my ma wat nie meer hier is nie, en vir my familie by die huis.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy boodskap aan ander jongmense? “Moet nooit toelaat dat jou omstandig- hede jou toekoms bepaal nie. Vertrou op God, Hy sal ‘n pad maak.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
