In the last of our short series, inspired by the Rugby League World Cup, we're joined by the humble, hard-working and high-performing Sam Tomkins, the captain and talisman of England’s men’s team who are aiming to win the coveted trophy later this month. In Sam Walker’s brilliant book, Captain Class, he identified that the best teams have great captains, those who play on the edge, make others better and step up at crucial moments. Sam is certainly a leader who does this and much more but, as he explained to us, this has not come easily. He was never identified as a great talent, having to pay to play at Wigan Warriors whilst holding down a full-time job as a green-keeper at a local golf course. Whilst he was there, he refused to compromise and kept his dream of representing his boyhood team alive. His willingness to do the work in the shadows, the hard, relentless grind in the toughest of sports distinguished him and prepared him for the moment when luck met opportunity and he got his shot. Sam was a central figure in Wigan’s renaissance, winning Grand Finals and Challenge Cups before deciding to stretch his horizons and test himself in New Zealand. He returned to Wigan and led them to further glory before once again, being stepping outside his comfort zone by moving to France with Catalan Dragons. Sam’s story is packed with incredible lessons, inspiring messages and insightful observations from his climb to the summit of world sport. (HP Plus subscribers can enjoy a special extended version on this episode) Listen back to the other episodes in the series;Sam Burgess: https://apple.co/3sG3g7vLindsey Burrow: https://apple.co/3TPl6RwJamie Peacock: https://apple.co/3WKhphZ- - - - -OUT NOW!

Since embracing his second chance at life, he has become a doctor of neuroscience and psychology.Whether it's our career, our relationships, our health, or more global concerns, we all face challenges in life. However, this is not where our struggles lie.

In the third of our series to celebrate the Rugby League World Cup, we are delighted to welcome Jamie Peacock, a man who has burnished his legendary status within the sport, by consistently doing “the things that require no talent” at the very moments when the pressure is at its greatest, the margins are at their narrowest and the competition is at its fiercest. In turn, he has acquired a medal haul which would fill a museum. He shares with us the transferrable lessons learnt along the way and which can be adopted into your own life. Jamie was a leader through his example and helped shaped high performance cultures at Bradford, Leeds and England. The foundation stone on which these were built were accountability. “Tell people what you are going to do, then do it” is his succinct message. “This is how trust is created, nurtured and maintained.”  This is a powerful, profound and incredibly practical interview which will leave you ready to create your own high performance culture. Listen back to the other episodes in the series;Sam Burgess: https://apple.co/3sG3g7vLindsey Burrow: https://apple.co/3TPl6Rw
