Ben Ryan - Always Striving to Learn 55:39

4 years ago55:39

55:39

Ben is a quite extraordinary character with an amazing story, which seems to have been made possible by his determination and no-nonsense desire to succeed in his chosen profession. By his early 40s, he’d already gone from PE teacher to head coach of England Rugby 7s, resigned from that job and was hunting for a new challenge. He found one in Fiji, where Ben eventually took a group of spectacularly skilled but unfit and disorganised rugby players from underperforming in 2013 to Olympic Gold in 2016.…

Sean Shelton - For the Love of the Game 57:21

Sean Shelton is that rarest of things - a professional American Football player who plies his trade in Europe. The story of how he got from Tampa Bay, Florida to the Swarco Raiders in Innsbruck, Austria via Kansas, Paris and Helsinki, is fascinating, and his in depth analysis of his position on the field - quarterback - is staggering. If you don’t know much about American Football, prepare to be amazed by what you are about to hear. I say during this interview, and I’m happy to argue the point with anyone, that quarterback is the single most difficult position that anyone plays in a team sport. When you’ve heard Sean explain what his job involves, you’ll understand why.…

As a rule, active athletes don’t open up about how they feel and sport, and the care of professional sportspeople, is poorer as a result. Jamie’s searing honesty and openness should be an example to anyone of what courage really looks like.
