In this special bonus episode, we speak to former Leicester Tigers S&C coach Will Findlay about a subject that goes far beyond rugby.
Will talks with remarkable honesty about his mental health and severe intrusive thoughts, the moment he reached breaking point and why he made the decision to step away from coaching in Australia and return home.
Recorded, by coincidence, on World Suicide Prevention Day, this is a powerful and important conversation that we hope you’ll make time to hear and share.
Content warning: This episode contains open discussion of suicidal thoughts and mental-health crisis.
