Exclusive Interview with Rising Star Khalil Irvin

Reporter: Khalil, you've been in exceptional form lately for Rotorua Savages. What do you attribute this recent success to?

Khalil: Thank you. I think it's a combination of hard work on and off the pitch. I've been serious about my career and have been investing a lot of time in improving my skills. My coach has been really supportive of my work ethics, which has helped me perform better on the field.

Reporter: It's great to hear that dedication paying off. How do you balance your serious approach to training with letting loose once in a while?

Khalil: It's all about finding that balance. I know when to focus and work hard, but I also know the importance of taking a break and enjoying life. It's all about finding that harmony between work and play.

Reporter: As a young player, how do you approach your health and fitness?

Khalil: I'll admit, I haven't always been the most health-conscious on the pitch. But as I've gotten older and gained more experience, I've realized the importance of taking care of my body. I've been adopting healthier habits, like cutting back on fast food and following a more keto-friendly diet.

Reporter: What's your favorite club to play against and why?

Khalil: I always enjoy playing against GAU. They have a strong team and it's always a challenging match. It pushes me to perform at my best and I thrive on that competition.

Reporter: Lastly, can you share a random interesting fact about your life outside of football?

Khalil: Well, I'm actually a big fan of cooking. When I'm not on the pitch, you can often find me experimenting in the kitchen and trying out new recipes. It's a passion of mine that helps me relax and unwind.

Reporter: Thank you for sharing that, Khalil. Keep up the great work on the field and in the kitchen!

Khalil: Thank you, I will.
