Better Under Pressure - A podcast by Sara Milne Rowe - Thursdays

Categories:

In this episode, I have an engaging conversation with Ben Ryan, the Director of Elite Performance at Brentford FC. With a background in teaching, professional rugby, and being the most successful men's rugby sevens coach in the world, Ben has a wealth of experience in handling pressure.  His book, Sevens Heaven, recounts his incredible journey coaching the under-resourced Fiji 7s team to their first-ever Olympic Gold in 2016. This achievement led to numerous accolades, including his face being featured on Fijian banknotes and coins, as well as being named a Fijian tribal chief. During our discussion, Ben shares valuable insights on: Recognising when others are feeling the pressure The concept of "finding the trampolines" and what it means How he had to make a life-changing decision in just 20 minutes
