Rioli Jr. admitted that he worked closely with the coaching staff to reignite his confidence, which allowed him to get back to playing his best brand of football.
“I came back and played some good footy at the start of the year, but then I felt that I dropped away from that and just lost confidence in myself,” Rioli Jr. said.
“I had a good chat with the coaches, and they had belief in me that I could go back and just build that confidence.
“I went back and did that, and from those conversations, I worked a lot off-field as well with my development plan.
“I just went back to the basics of playing footy and enjoying what I love doing, getting around my teammates and built my confidence from there, and I found myself playing good footy again.
“I was heading in the right direction, and I think I’m still building, and I can’t wait to play this week and every other week, because I’m just looking forward to building my game and playing some good footy with the rest of the boys.”
