Our guest today is current Wasps professional rugby player and for the sake of full disclosure, a client of David James Wealth Sport, Jimmy Gopperth. 

What a career Jimmy has had. He has played for the Auckland Blues and the Hurricanes in Super Rugby in his native New Zealand before moving over to the UK in 2009 where he joined Newcastle Falcons, where he spent 4 seasons. Jimmy then moved onto European giants Leinster Rugby and now resides at Wasps. 

Jimmy has left his mark in all the clubs he has represented. In 2017 Jimmy won Aviva Premiership Player of the year, the Rugby Players association player of the year and the Wasps players player of the year. Wow! 

This podcast will humanise household stars, most of who openly acknowledge they wish they began planning for their future earlier – even at the height of their careers. We will be joined by my co-hosts Mark Pittaccio, behavioural economist, who will help shed light onto why we all struggle to take action and do the basics, even when in principle everybody agrees with the sentiment. Brendan Macken, retired Rugby Professional will round off our panel with direct insights into the changing room and behind the player’s mindsets.
