Show Notes
Craig White's credentials in rugby are impeccable. Roles at Wasps, Ireland, Wales, The British and Irish Lions as well as his journey with the Uruguay team at the last Rugby World Cup, fill his CV. He started in strength and conditioning but has added so much more at places like Bolton Wanderers Football Club, where he acted as consultant to manager Sam Alladyce.
Relating to the Bolton part of his life, there is some swearing in this section of the podcast. We don’t usually include swearing as we know the podcast is consumed by listeners of all ages, but in this instance we felt it added value and was essential to one of the funnier stories in the programme, so we hope you don’t mind too much.
Part one is mainly about Craig's journey and we touch on subjects like pain, character, rapport, feedback and serving people, whilst in part two we go deeper into some of the specific tools and techniques he uses, but we start with his upbringing and how that informed his path from an early age.
