Willis Halaholo- What a Lad

I’ve been looking forward to getting the great Willis Halaholo on What a Lad for a while now and man does he deliver with this one! From life as a troubled teenager, surrounded with the wrong crowd. To becoming a Six Nations  Champion with Wales! I love hearing success stories like these and hearing the honesty Willis shares his story with is so cool. Willis was always a very talented player but its fair to say he didn’t quite have the discipline required to get to the next level. He became a father at 17 and was doing all the wrong things, drinking, fighting, drugs. He then had a moment where he realised he wanted to change his life and he decided he was going to give rugby a proper go. He moved to Southland by himself, slept on a couch and started carving up. Then came a Hurricanes contract which lead to a Super Rugby title, where Willis played a huge role. Willis then made the decision to move to Wales with Cardif and is now playing at the highest level of rugby as he runs out for the Wales International side, which were recently crowned the Six Nations Champion. This episode has so much in it, and there is so many lessons that can be learnt from it. Willis is an absolute lad for sharing and if you enjoy this episode please give it a share! Also the Merch is out now so if you enjoy the podcast please go get yourself some Lad gear to help this podcast survive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
