How can we get perfection in an imperfect world? Balance between winning and losing; Media scrutiny; The role and impact on family; A thirst for learning; The importance of perspective, the performance/learning environment and the constraints you have to work with are just a few of the many areas we covered in this fascinating conversation.
This is a must listen to podcast for any Rugby fan, people developer, aspiring coach, parent….in fact anybody with a thirst for learning and keen to learn from a very humble, wise and impactful individual.
