What does an elite sportsman do when he retires from his game? How does he continue to thrive in the ‘real world’? Well for Sam Scott-Young, former Wallabies player who helped demolish the All Blacks in the 1991 Bledisloe Cup, the keys to maintaining that competitive edge are business, and fun! To pay the bills, Sam is Managing Director of his own business, www.orthotechgroup.com, a Brisbane-based company specialising in top quality orthopaedic and spinal products. But to keep his adrenalin in top gear, an Arcade Table takes pride of place in the Scott-Young home, where the family enjoy challenging friends to enthusiastic rounds of 1980’s games classics. Sam had this to say:
“Now that I’m a retired Wallaby, I manage my natural competitive streak with regular Galaga challenges at home!”
Taking the No. 64 spot on “The 101 Toughest Aussie Sports Stars of our Time” list compiled by Alpha Magazine, we reckon Sam Scott-Young must be a force to be reckoned with at the Arcade Table too!
