S2 #14 Sam Portland: Elite Sport, Grief and Fancying Your Therapist Man Down: The Anti-Man-Up Movement
-
- Mental Health
Sam Portland is a performance consultant and over the last decade he has spent his time working with many elite and grass roots organisations including Wasps Rugby, Ealing Trailfinders, Kenya Sevens, Burnley FC and NFL players. Sam now operate as a consultant and provides mentoring and educational programs to coaches.
As a former rugby player myself (definitely not pro) I loved chatting to Sam about the world of elite sport, rugby culture and where mental health fits into all of this. Sam also shares an open and honest account of his own experiences with mental health, the grief of losing his brother and shares some incredible wisdom from what he's learnt along the way.
Thank you Sam!
