James Haskell Opens Up About Therapy, Parenting, Grieving His Father and England Rugby Chaos | EP 3

Описание: In this deeply honest episode of More Than A Name, hosts Max Whittle and Luke Young sit down with former England rugby star James Haskell for a raw and revealing conversation unlike any he’s had before.

Haskell opens up about how therapy has shaped his life (02:30), why he loved playing rugby (9:40), dealing with retirement (11:36), the difference between rugby and football culture (16:12), his struggles with self-confidence (23:10), and how certain coaching styles affected him during the most intense moments of his career (25:22).

He discusses the highs and lows of playing for England, the reality of life on British & Irish Lions tours, and his love for music and DJing.

James also reflects deeply on fatherhood (26:47), succeeding under Eddie Jones (31:10), the shambles of the 2011 World Cup (33:48), how professional sport views therapy (42:15), his view on mental health diagnosis (44:03) and how he’s been coping with the loss of his father this year (50:20).

If you’re a fan of authentic storytelling around mental health, fatherhood, high-performance pressure, and life beyond the headlines, this episode is a must-watch.
