For Kieffer Moore, his endless studying of the game is well and truly paying off. The former lifeguard and personal trainer completed a significant hat-trick this summer by helping Bournemouth reach the promised land of the Premier League in addition to playing a key role as Wales qualified for a first World Cup in 64 years.
