Canterbury tales with Jodie Ounsely. The second part of this special mini-series, again The Women's Rugby Pod partners with the iconic rugby brand Canterbury. In this episode, Jodie Ounsley the Sale Sharks and England 7s player opens up about her past, her present, her hopes and aspirations for the future. One of Canterbury's newest ambassadors, Jodie, talks about the existence of her competitive nature from an early age, from coal racing (with carrots!) all the way to playing at Twickenham for her country, with sprinting, Jujitsu thrown in the mix too! The Sale Shark chats about her rugby found her and what made her stay in the sport when her challenges are bigger than most. Jodie was born profoundly deaf, at fourteen months (the youngest ever in the UK) she had a cochlear implant fitted and she has never looked back since. As you will hear Jodie sees nothing as a hurdle, just a way to get over it with the help and encouragement of her family, who she speaks about so fondly. The first deaf woman to represent an England senior team, Jodie speaks of the bumps in the road, how she has overcome them and just how much she has got and continues to get from rugby; now she has starting giving back. There's also stories and observations from her team mates. A warm, open, fun, inspirational chat with Jodie, so her......a perfect Canterbury ambassador. Hosted on Acast.
