Episode #26: Former England rugby player Tim Stimpson reflects on legacy, happiness and living his values.
Episode 26
Friday, 18 November, 2022

Tim Stimpson, former England and British & Irish Lions rugby player, has been described as one of the most successful players of his generation. He was instrumental in helping the Leicester Tigers win the Premiership 4 times in a row, as well as back-to-back Heineken Cup's, and at the time, became the Premierships leading points scorer. What is evident when talking with Tim is his obvious passion for the game of rugby and his love of team. So, it was fascinating to chat with him about the transition out of the game into 'normal life' and the journey he has been on for the past 15 years as he has had to learn to pay attention to his own happiness and find new ways of being a husband, father and man. Thanks Tim for your honesty and willingness to share the ups and downs of life with me!Photo Credit: ESPN
