    #173 - Josh Jones - One of the worst knees I’ve ever seen

    My guest this week is TRY IT Rugby Academy Founder - Josh Jones. We talked about the benefits of a Rugby League background, his time in Sale Sharks Academy, what it was like to play for esteemed rugby school - Kirkham Grammar, and the horrific injuries that stunted his playing days. But Josh is still playing for Preston Grasshoppers and coaching England Lambs alongside starting his own rugby academy - TRY IT Rugby - which delivers rugby coaching to schools in Lancashire. And there is so much more in this incredible episode. Josh is an absolute inspiration - I hope you enjoy.

My guest this week was the star of his US college rugby team, he made a ton of money in tech, and he’s now an author - he is Tyler Kania.
