Brad Thorn: Rugby And League Success, Pressure And Battling Anxiety

What does real belief actually look like when it’s earned, not gifted? Brad Thorn joins Martin Devlin for one of the most open and powerful conversations we’ve had on the DSPN. From anxiety and self-doubt to faith, discipline and mental resilience, Brad reflects on the moments that shaped him long before the trophies arrived. They talk through Brad’s new book Champions Do Extra, the lessons passed down from his father, the pressure of World Cup finals, State of Origin, and why belief only comes after the work is done. Brad also opens up about anxiety, leadership, coaching at the Reds, and why you’re never truly defeated if you’re willing to stand and fight. It’s honest, grounded, and full of perspective from a man who’s been to the very top and knows exactly what it costs to stay there. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
