Autobiography

‘Being John Stankevitch’

I never intended to write a autobiography, but during 2009, I reached a critical point in my life.

I had suffered some troubled times during the 3 years after my retirement from playing Professional Rugby League, and my life was in a very precarious situation. I decided to take hold of the situation by making some bold steps. I decided that if I was to get my life back on track, it was vital that I faced my own reality and found out about ME.

I began by writing down what I believed to be my strengths, and by looking at myself, I found myself delving into my past, and both the positives and negatives of my life upto and including that point. It was a thought provoking experience to say the least! That particular chapter of my life was incredibly therapeutic in terms of coming face to face with my ‘demons’, and the experience gave me my opportunity to tell my story.

I decided to write ‘Being John Stankevitch’, not for personal financial gain, but as a means to get my life back on track. It has certainly been the starting point for what I refer to as ‘my new beginning’.

To read about the highs and lows of my life so far and the processes that I put in place in order to free me from problems such as severe debt (including repossession), gambling addiction and self confidence issues, then please purchase ‘Being John Stankevitch’ to learn more about the person that is John Stankevitch.
