Maro Itoje is a rugby union player, currently playing for Saracens and the England national team. Having joined Saracens at 16 years old, Maro shares how the kindness, manners and dedication of the senior players has shaped him. He discusses how his parents never pushed him to focus on rugby, so all of his motivation was internal.
Maro claims to not be the most talented player, rather his skillset is based on output and how hard he can work. This allowed him to take ownership of his commitments and efforts. Maro shares how rugby will never be his “true identity”, as it’s crucial for him to have varied interests and hobbies outside of rugby. He is currently studying for his Master of Business Administration at University of Warwick.
In this episode they discuss authenticity, what it means to be a cultural architect and the role trash talk plays in his life.

This coming Sunday (4th Feburary) is the first night in our 2023 High Performance Tour!
In this episode Jake and Damian take you through what you can expect from the 2023 High Performance Tour. It is not your typical podcast show, each night is filled with music, audience interaction and industry leading experts.
Two of the tour’s special guests, Kye Sones and Owen O’Kane, join this episode to discuss their high performance journey. Kye went from touring the world one day to working on a building site the next. Owen O’Kane explores why it is so crucial to share stories of mental health and create a space for vulnerable discussion.
Jake and Damian are also joined by Stephen Crocker, CEO of Norwich Theatre Royal and Creative Director of The High Performance Tour to discuss the importance of storytelling and how he approached creating a show with a high performance mindset.
It’s been almost three years since Jake and Damian first sat down with football manager Sean Dyche. A lot has changed since that initial conversation, he is now manager of Everton FC. Sean left Burnley after a decade in charge of the team, keeping them in the Premier League for six seasons with a limited wage bill.
In this episode, Sean seeks to challenge the myths told about him. They delve deep into his managing style, how he individually assesses players to give them the best chance of being successful. They discuss how to focus on the opinions that matter, connecting with players as individuals and focusing on ‘positive realities’.

In this episode she shares the story of the boating accident that caused the loss of her foot as a teenager and the struggle that followed. After her accident Stef struggled with a change in identity, feeling like her only identity was being an athlete she worried there was nothing more she could offer. Opening up about what helped her through this difficult time, Stef discusses the importance of allowing others to help you and welcoming team-work.
Having had a series of coaches, with varying methods, Stef shares what she looks for in a coach and how she learns from them. Rather than asking questions, for Stef, the learning comes from watching. The things that set people apart are the way they handle the mundane aspects of life…
They delve into imposter syndrome, self-doubt and embracing failure.
