We have recorded a series of interviews with some Rugby League's greatest names, where they share the insights, lessons and techniques they have used to scale their chosen heights. In the first of this series, we welcome Sam Burgess, the unassuming lad from Bradford who became a modern day gladiator in an unforgiving business. This open and honest interview with Sam includes: - The heartache of nursing his dad through his battle against the cruel Motor Neurone Disease, whilst trying to break through as a teenage tyro at Bradford Bulls RLFC. - Taking on the challenge of conquering Australia's National Rugby League when joining South Sydney Rabbitohs, owned by Russell Crowe. - The impact Russell had on his career and how he brought him to tears - He describes the process of changing mindsets and shaping a winning culture from the perspective of leading a dressing room. - Switching to Union and why the 2015 World Cup was a failure in his eyes.
