- Business
Ex-Welsh Rugby International Rhys Thomas shares his incredible story. From growing up in South Africa, to coming through the youth ranks in Wales and ending up with it all - international caps, money, family, friends and a career playing the sport he loved.
...but everything changed in an instant.
A massive heart attack ended his career and put him on a years-long journey of self-destruction. He has recently built his life back up from rock bottom and learnt valuable lessons that he shares with Jon in this episode.
This is a candid, raw, shocking, sad, inspirational and uplifting listen all at the same time.
There is so much in this interview that we have split it over two episodes. In Part 1 here, we cover Rhys's early years and his up and down Rugby career up to the point where the heart attack hits.
With people's minds turning to Rugby again with the World Cup around the corner, you're unlikely to hear a more detailed, insightful and honest account of the highs and lows of being a rugby pro and pulling on the famous red jersey of Wales.
Rhys leaves no stone unturned and speaks from the heart.
