Sports EN ↓ 31 episodes

The Post Rugby Podcast was created to raise awareness of the unique challenges faced by the rugby community and more importantly to provide information as well as inspiration on addressing them. From tackling tricky topics such as physical and mental health to managing the transition into retirement. I will be speaking with a different former rugby player each week to share their story. By sharing their experiences I hope to empower YOU to tackle your own challenges and to live a happier and healthier life after playing the game we all love or love to hate.
