As for Klein, he also understands that this is bigger than rugby. Klein grew up in a family of four, with his parents and sister having developmental disabilities. He shared that he has “not only lived my life for me, but for four people. My sister and my parents did not get the same opportunities in life. I strive to live my life to the fullest in honor of them.” He shared, “coaching at DSHA, and giving these girls everything that I have, fulfills that obligation to my family. I run for them.”
