The youngest man EVER to win two Rugby World Cups for his Country, South Africa and he is regularly achieving Multiple successes at club level, with his team The Stormers - Damian is flourishing at the very highest level! This is not just your average sports star; Damian could be one of the greatest of all time. So, how could an International Cup winning Sports Star possibly ‘IMPROVE’ and ‘ACCELERATE’ his overall performance and well being???You guessed it - Going ALCOHOL FREE! As a middle-lane drinker, Damian began to become increasingly aware of the negative impacts alcohol was having on his life. From hangovers to low productivity to weekend lie-ins, even the person he became when he was a few drinks into a ‘binge’ session did not align with the man he knew he was. So he decided to take a 90-day break - and something incredible happenedJoin us for a superpowered conversation, where we chat about: -What comes with being a professional athlete, on and off the pitch.Dealing with Injury and the impacts on mental health.
