Carlin Isles has been named “the fastest man in rugby” and was also the top try scorer at 2016 Olympic Games in the Rugby Seven’s tournament.

Carlin Isles together with the twins’ sister were homeless before the age of 6, they were often hungry and eat anything they could grab including dog food, their mother was rarely around for them, she was latter arrested and imprisoned which led to the twins been put in foster home. At age 7 Carlin and his sister were adopted by Starlett and Charles Isles who cared for them after worth. Carlin has credited his success in sport to the love and care that the adoptive parents showered on them.

Carlin Isles found his mojo in sport while he was at Jackson High School (Massillon, Ohio) and he kept at it until he’s touted as the fastest rugby player in the world. His story since his debut into rugby in 2012 is a symbol of from scrappy to success and he never played rugby until his entrance in Olympic 2012 but he watched some matches online and told himself he could do it and he did it with the acceptance and help of Nigel Melville who was the CEO of rugby at that time.

Carlin’s early age predicaments would have made him bury his head like any other boy in the neighbourhood, involve himself in social vices but he rather picked courage to change his life by finding what he likes doing best and doing it well until that has lifted him to prominence and awesomeness.

No matter your circumstances today, find your purpose, believe it, act on it, keep at its pursuit and you will change your life almost always. If Carlin who once lived in foster home could do it, you can also do it!
