Jonny Wilkinson: Intensity, awareness and finding your truth

“I was deeply lost in my own issues and as a result I was not a good captain.” This week Sam is joined by one of sport’s most recognisable names, English rugby icon and World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson.  The pair reflect on the price of success in an intense environment and how the impact of your actions can have long-lasting effects – both positive and negative - on you and your surroundings. They discuss how to deal with stress and pressure and why, ultimately, you need to understand yourself before you can understand others. This is a conversation about life and sports leadership on an elite level, packed with insight that we can all benefit from. Use #CaptainsPod to get in touch with Sam on social media.

Om Podcasten

England's most capped men love rugby. Ben Youngs is a scrum-half so he’s spent most of his 127 games chatting away to team-mates, opposition and referees. His mate Dan Cole is still in the England squad, and has cult hero status thanks to his no-nonsense approach to most of life’s events. They’ve spent 20 years together at Leicester Tigers, toured together for the British and Irish Lions, and now podcast together every week. They'll bring you their ultimate guide to rugby's biggest games, give you a behind the scenes tour of Twickenham, and tell you what really happens inside an England camp. They’ll also have guests, and they will be some of the biggest names in rugby.
