An insight into how I dealt with adversity throughout a 17 year professional rugby career. The importance of resilience in elite sport is well documented, however often observers looking in see events through rose tinted glasses. The ups and downs of a professional sports career are regular and tumultuous, from injury, form, non selection, media scrutiny, individual and collective failure and under-performance.

This webinar will look at some of the lows and the mistakes that undoubtedly led to success and looking at how my journey to heightened self awareness improved me as a leader and player.
