Ugo Monye’s journey from a 13-year-old beginner to an England winger, British & Irish Lion, and TV presenter is packed with lessons for young players. In this Rugby Legends episode, Arthur Dickins sits down with Ugo to uncover the mindset, habits, and values that helped him succeed on and off the pitch.

Ugo shares how belief was the turning point in his career, why backing yourself matters more than raw talent, and the role fun has played in every stage of his life. He reflects on career highs like winning the Premiership with Harlequins, representing the Lions, and scoring unforgettable tries — and opens up about handling setbacks, injuries, and tough competition.

You’ll also hear the best advice Ugo ever got from a coach, the rituals that kept him grounded before big games, and his take on why the changing room camaraderie is the most special part of rugby. His stories will inspire you to work hard, enjoy the game, and never lose sight of why you started playing.
