Despite giving away a crucial penalty last year's Grand Final, Collingwood's Sarah Berry emphasizes that football isn't everything, highlighting the importance of perspective after losing her mother to cancer.
Berry wrote his wrongs from last year’s decider, when he gave away a crucial 50m penalty to Steele Sidebottom in the dying stages of the fourth quarter that helped Collingwood seal a famous victory.
“Football isn’t the whole part of my life - it’s a huge part - but it doesn’t define me as a person,” Berry told“Giving away a free kick in a Grand Final and the backlash from that is not tough.“Having cancer for seven years is tough and my mum was able to teach me those lessons when she was alive. It included Brisbane turning around 44-point and 25-point deficits against GWS and Geelong, respectively, over the last two weeks in epic September comebacks and showings of resolve.“The resilience we showed the whole season, not to mention in the finals, being 44 points down against the Giants – we had one foot in Mad Monday,” Berry said.
