Will Wilson - The Burgess Podcast
In Episode 9 of The Burgess Podcast we got the opportunity to speak to former Wasps player Will Wilson. This is an episode filled of advice and insight on facing adversity not just in rugby but also in life. For myself this was a very inspiring episode and I hope it proves to be the same for you.
We started off talking about how Will got into rugby and spoke about his time at Wellington College one of the most notorious rugby schools in the UK. From that we continued to speak about his time at school before moving onto his time at Oxford University where Will studied History and tried to balance Uni work and rugby. Will then got the opportunity to play for England 7's and he speaks about his amazing experience over in Hong Kong.
Following on from that we spoke about when Will reconnected with Wasps, but his time their was interrupted by injury and mental health issues. Will suffered from bad depression and anxiety during his first year back at Wasps. This is an inspiring moment when speaking about Will's battles with depression and I really hope if anyone today is listening to the podcast and feels the same way, do not hesitate to get in touch with myself as I want to offer myself as a listening ear for people who may be struggling.
We then spoke about how Will overcame these challenges before heading out to play rugby in South Africa and returning to play in the Championship for Cornish Pirates which ended up being his final season in rugby. Will is now studying to become a lawyer, we wish Will all the best with his future endeavours and it was an honour to have him on the podcast.
