What do the highest achievers do when they can't achieve anymore? How do they deal with it? Jonny Wilkinson, a professional rugby star, whose sporting prowess could not have been higher at the peak of his career, has found the integrity and courage to face this question head-on. He has acknowledged that emergence from a mental health crisis has led him to a personal exploration of a broadly spiritual nature.

Wanting to bring his new perspective to the coaching of younger players, he travelled to Oxford to talk to Rupert. Their conversation ranges from the deepest meaning of 'being in the zone' to a definition of 'a life well lived'; and they bring to light how an understanding of our true, essential nature is as relevant to athletes' issues as it is for all of us.
