I first coached James Haskell when he was a teenager - he had big energy, big personality, and was full of potential. But beneath the surface, he was carrying self-doubt, pressure, and a deep need to prove himself.

In this episode, we sit down for a raw and honest conversation about what was really going on behind the image.

We talk about:

The impact of being medicated from age 10 and surviving boarding school
Why he spent years performing, without knowing who he really was
What therapy helped him uncover about self-worth, confidence, and anger
The moment he saw his dad's "shadows" for the first time
Why strength without emotional range isn't leadership
How marriage, grief, and failure shaped the man he’s becoming

It’s not about rugby. It’s about the work men have to do when the noise stops, and the feelings finally catch up.
