Rene Naylor: Lessons from the Springboks for everyday life | EP 19
How does a Springbok survive an international season? The training, the travel, 80 brutal minutes of game time, and then turning up fit and ready again the next week. Meanwhile someone who plays social touch rugby every second weekend ends up with an injury that takes them out for six weeks. Rene Naylor has been the Springboks' physiotherapist for close to 17 years, and now consults to Cricket South Africa on high performance. Her job has never been fixing injuries. It has been making sure they do not happen. Sean Lunn, Faf du Plessis and Dr Michael Mol sit down with her to answer one question: how do you build a body that survives your life?

Rachel Kolisi: Stop Chasing the Perfect Body | EP 18
Rachel Kolisi joins Sean Lunn and Dr Michael Mol to talk about the losses rather than the wins. You did the fast. You did the training programme, the proper one, three times a week for twelve weeks. You did the meal plan. You did all of it right, and it didn't work.Most plans seldom fail completely. Most plans seldom succeed completely. Something less dramatic is usually happening, and almost nobody talks about it.What she stopped chasing, why she got rid of the scale, what she has learned about training through the seasons where nothing goes to plan, and the framework for what to do when an intervention is not working for you.CHAPTERS0:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAxyk19Zim4) You did everything right and it didn't
