What a Lad

Will Genia- What a Lad


Listen Later

Will Genia is one of the all-time great halfbacks and after this conversation I'm sure you'll understand why. With over 100 Tests for the Wallabies, a Super Rugby title with the Reds and stints with the Rebels, Stade Francais and the Kintetsu Liners Will had a bit of everything in his career!


In this episode we dive into his remarkable journey: from growing up in Papua New Guinea where he dreamt of becoming a cricketer, to falling in love with Rugby and the insane work ethic that took him from Colts to the Wallabies in the blink of an eye.


In this episode we go through..

One of the strongest mindsets to continually get better I have hear.

His journey through the grades and how he felt like an imposter at each step.

Winning super rugby and that incredible try that he scored in that final!

The highs and heartbreaks of three Rugby World Cups

His brutal ACL injury and his comeback to star against the Lions

Life in France and six more years in Japan

Why he walked away when he still could’ve played on

His transition into coaching alongside Quade Cooper

And heaps more.


If you think you work hard this episode might question that, Wills work ethic and drive blew me away. He's also humble, honest, insightful and just one of the absolute great lads!
