Cheslin Kolbe To Share Inspiring Life Story In New MemoirSpringbok star Cheslin Kolbe is preparing to give fans an intimate look into his remarkable journey after announcing the release of his memoir, Cheslin Kolbe: Sidestepping the Odds, later this year. “I grew up in a world of crime, drugs and violence, and was told I was too small to play rugby. The two-time Rugby World Cup winner said he wants readers to understand that difficult circumstances do not have to determine their future. Announcing the memoir on Instagram, Kolbe echoed the same message, saying belief, hard work and resilience can help people achieve their dreams.
