Josh Navidi: The Mindset It Takes to Play Rugby for your Country | Open Gym with Sam Warburton

Former Wales rugby international Josh Navidi joins Sam Warburton for an episode of Open Gym at SW7 Academy, reflecting on his international rugby career, the mindset behind elite performance and the importance of family life away from the pitch.

While training together, Josh and Sam discuss what it takes to represent Wales at the highest level, from the physical demands and pressure of international rugby to the discipline, resilience and mentality required to build a successful career. Josh shares the experiences that shaped him as a player and offers an honest insight into the person behind one of Welsh rugby’s most recognisable names.

The conversation also moves beyond rugby as Josh opens up about family life, his priorities away from the game and how his experiences in elite sport have influenced the way he approaches life today. Together, he and Sam explore identity, balance and what happens when performance is no longer measured solely by results on the pitch.

Expect real training, honest conversation, plenty of laughs and an open discussion between two former Wales teammates about rugby, mindset, family and life at the highest level.
