On Thursday night I was delighted to hold a signing session for The One Percenters Book at Dymocks Book Store at Rouse Hill Town Centre.

Lynne and her team at Dymocks Rouse Hill have been an exceptional supporter of myself and The One Percenters since the book was first released to the public and now top Dymocks Penrith as the books highest selling retail store in Australia!

I arrived at 6:30pm to find a large crowd had already assembled out the front of the store. I'm always so humbled by those that support me so I was excited to be able to spend some time saying hello, answering questions and signing copies of my book for them all.

To thank all of those who attended on the night, I decided to give away not one but TWO of my Western Sydney Wanderers goalkeeper jerseys. Tickets in the draw were given FREE to all those who attended, with additional entries given for social media activity or purchasing a copy of the book.

At 8:00pm I concluded the signing session and asked Lynne from Dymocks Rouse Hill to assist me in drawing the jerseys.

The first ticket selected was held by Isaac and his father who selected my grey 2017 AFC Champions League jersey.

The second ticket selected was held by young Caleb who chose my yellow 2016/17 Hyundai A-League jersey.

Following these two winners I felt inspired to give a third shirt away and had Lynne draw a third ticket from the barrel.

This ticket was held by Harry and Alex who selected my grey 2016/17 Hyundai A-League jersey.

Overall the night was an incredible success and I'd again like to thank everybody who was involved and attended on the day.

Dymocks Rouse Hill now has a fresh stock of product on their shelves including TEN personally autographed copies at no extra charge!! So pop in today or head to 'the store' to order your copy today.

As many of you would know, when I first began writing The One Percenters Book my sole mission was to provide it to young and aspiring athletes who were forced to move out of home for the first time to play the sport they love.

Having grown up studying nutrition and working in the culinary industry, I found my personal experience of this quiet simple. Unfortunately I was in a minority for players in this situation and certainly played witness to far more talented players then myself drop out of the games top level through avoidable performance drops.
