    Quitting the Noise: Lessons from 2025 to Take Into 2026

    On the final episode of 2025, I reflect on a year of growth, challenges, and lessons learned both on and off the rugby field. I share the five key things I quit in 2025 to become a better coach, teammate, and person: 1. Saying yes to everything 2. Focusing only on the tryline and ignoring the phases in between 3. Overcomplicating and overthinking 4. Procrastination and avoidance 5. Looking at the opposition and the sidelines I explore how simplifying my approach, embracing imperfect action, and focusing on what truly matters can help you thrive in rugby, business, and life. Tune in for practical insights, mindset shifts, and a little end-of-year reflection to inspire your 2026.

    Something Is Better Than Nothing: Training, Consistency & Christmas

    Christmas can feel like the official pause button on training… but does it have to be? In this episode of The Five Points Podcast, I share a real-life, no-pressure take on how I’m approaching training, movement and routine over the festive period — and why “parking it till January” often makes January feel ten times harder. From dark evenings, cold pitches and Christmas indulgence, to why something is always better than nothing, this episode covers: • Why keeping some routine over Christmas helps January feel easier • How movement boosts your mood (even when motivation is low) • Making the most of extra time off to build simple habits • Why consistency beats perfection every single time • How walking, NEAT and everyday movement really add up This isn’t about smashing PBs or being rigid — it’s about doing enough, staying connected to habits that make you feel good, and setting yourself up for a strong start to 2026. 🎧 Listen in, have a think about what movement could look like for you over the next couple of weeks, and remember: every rep still counts. 📩 Need support?

    How Not to Hit the “Fk It” Button This Christmas

    Christmas is two weeks away and the festive chaos is officially here — the food, the drinks, the parties, the dark mornings, and the fading motivation. If you’re someone still pushing toward performance or body composition goals, this time of year can feel like a minefield. In today’s episode, I’m sharing five powerful mindset shifts to help you avoid hitting the “f**k it button” this Christmas. We talk about: • Why the scales spike after Christmas (and why it’s NOT body fat) • How your reaction does more damage than the food itself • The power of going into social events with intent • Owning your choices instead of spiralling into guilt • Remembering that it’s just one meal, one day, one week — not your whole journey If you struggle with all-or-nothing thinking, holiday overeating, guilt, or feeling like you have to start again every January, this one’s for you. I also share a few real coaching examples, some festive rambling, and why intent is as important in life as it is on the rugby pitch.

    Why I’ll Never Do a Black Friday Deal

    Black Friday is everywhere… but I’m not joining the bandwagon — and here’s why. In this episode of The Five Points Podcast, I break down five reasons why I don’t discount my coaching and why investing in yourself properly is far more valuable than chasing a deal. From tailored one-to-one coaching to staying accountable, avoiding wasted money, and keeping both of us fully invested, I explain why true progress comes from focus, commitment, and a strategy that actually works for your life and your rugby. Whether you’re struggling with winter motivation, injury, or performance goals, this episode will give you clarity on why full-value coaching beats a bargain every time — and how it can help you perform at your best on and off the pitch.

    Strong Girls, Strong Game: Women’s Rugby, Strength & Life After the Pitch

    In this special guest episode of The Five Points Podcast, we dive into the real physical and emotional demands of women’s rugby — and the strength, structure, and community needed to thrive through it. Jem joins us to break down why strength training is a genuine game-changer for female players, how her Strong Girl Club is helping women rebuild confidence (and core strength!) after childbirth, and why structured recovery is not a day off — it’s the key to longevity. We explore burnout, identity after retirement, and the lack of grassroots support that leaves so many players struggling without the right rehab or guidance. Plus, we reflect on the milestone 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup and how it shifted the entire landscape for the next generation. Whether you’re a forward who wakes up with a sore neck every Monday, a player navigating PCOS or chronic inflammation, or someone finding their place in rugby again — this episode is packed with honesty, practical advice, and the 1% wins that make all the difference. Listen in for strength, stories, and the mindset to carry you far beyond the pitch.
