Steve Smith Quotes on Morning (2 Quotes)

During the morning he began to see what the real issues were in his school. Because he knew his friends were in the stadium that afternoon at the match he came out on to the pitch with me, took the microphone and actually addressed the young people in the stadium. He said, 'I know some of my friends are here and I know we mess about in school and there's racism there, but I want to let you know I don't stand for that - I stand for something different. I want you to know you're wrong'. That was a huge thing for him to do, really powerful.

He pulled up alright and trained well this morning, hopefully we can turn the tables on Saturday. We just had about every bit of bad luck happen to us last week. He had the bad start and losing a shoe at the 600 was the finishing touch to what ended up a bad day.
