Episode How James Haskell Survived Injury, Divorce and Grief & Came Out Stronger
Former England rugby star James Haskell explores life with unmedicated ADHD, the pressure of rugby's “tough guy” culture, and finding a sense of identity beyond the sport.
James shares what it was like to navigate elite rugby without ADHD medication, the self-doubt behind his confident public persona, and why he believes real strength comes from being willing to talk.
After retiring at 35, James had to work out who he was without rugby. He talks about rebuilding his confidence, becoming a father, and learning a new kind of love through co-parenting.
Themes: Unmedicated ADHD, Redefining Masculinity, Post-Sport Identity, Therapy & Mental Health, and Fatherhood.
