あらすじ・解説
Today I’m talking to Calum Clark, ex-international Rugby Union player turned high-performance psychologist.
Having started on the rugby trail aged just 15, Calum turned professional three years later and spent fourteen years playing at the highest level He turned out for three different Premiership clubs as well as England. In that time he experienced the highs of winning 3 Premiership titles and 2 European Cups and the lows of career-threatening injuries, disciplinary setbacks, and various off-field issues. Realising there was a lack of professional support, guidance and expertise to help navigate such things, he completed the first of two Psychology MScs alongside the final years of his playing career. He then became Head of Player Development and Wellbeing at Saracens, before going on to become their Head of Psychological Performance, with a number of his clients, including Ben Earl, going on to excel at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
In our conversation, Calum shares… - The importance of drilling - as an individual and as a team. - How we all need a north star… - And which pressure was worse - playing for England or finishing his Psychology thesis.
