Engaging People PodShow Notes
Jamie Peacock MBE is considered one of the best Rugby players of his generation and is one of the most decorated players of all time. Having had success at Bradford Bulls, Leeds Rhinos and captained England & Great Britain for 8 years. He talks about his journey as an average player to becoming one of the greats through sheer hard work. Jamie realised early that hard work was in his control & that not everyone wants to go the extra mile.
