Kathryn Buggy: Ex Rugby Player for Gloucester-Hartpury and Ireland

from Sport and Life · host Teddy Draper

Legendary Gloucester-Hartpury and Ireland prop ‘Buggy’ on how hockey lead to playing rugby around the world, battling burnout, why the benefits of the game outweigh injury risks and being happily retired. After co-hosting a podcast this season with Buggy it was brilliant to get her full story. Again it was eye-opening to consider the challenges of trying to play elite sport while also working/studying full-time. Please let me know if you enjoy this one.
