Kolisi said his purpose, among other things, was to encourage and to help others realise their strengths to grow.
“I believe I'm here to serve a purpose, and I fight every day to live out that purpose, using sport as a vehicle to do so. I always encourage people around me to realise what their purpose is and do everything in their power to fulfil it,” he said.
Kolisi is set to release his autobiography in September. The book titled Rise, now available for pre-order, will shed light on his upbringing and motivate people to overcome adversity.
“I feel it’s the perfect time to share these with the hope of inspiring and motivating anyone who has ever faced adversity,” Kolisi said.
“It was so important for me that my story was told from my own account and with the right publishing group.”
