He is a utility back who can play centre, wing or fullback. Jesse has played 46 test matches for the Springboks and was a part of their Rugby World Cup-winning squad in 2019. This episode was simply special we get everything from World Cup practices to Jessie’s own examination of the micro-skills of the game. We cover: Jesse’s drive to get better by getting a spare gym key cut so that he could train in the evening without the lights on so that others wouldn’t know he was there The division of racism in South Africa and how the Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus made this something that his team would tackle headfirst and the inclusion of black and white players in their squad The exact details of how Jessie learned to add an offload to his game after playing against Sonny Bill Williams The unity that was inside of the South African World Cup squad when they took home the gold in 2019 In terms of episodes, this had something for everyone from coaches to players through to supporters and everyone in between. Jesse turned up to this podcast with a pen and a pad and is a true student of the game and it’s something we can all mirror in our careers and lives. Download, learn and enjoy.
