Description
Any time representing your country is special, but for Mark Atkinson coming on at Twickenham at the age of 31 felt even more memorable. The Gloucester centre goes in-depth about his change in mindset when playing semi-professional rugby and considering taking a stewarding job at the 2012 Olympics, to focusing on being professional and then representing England. From support from friends and family, to a realisation that he wasn't giving it his all, this is a story about perseverance, determination and not giving up.You will also hear contributions from teammates Raffi Quirke, Ben Youngs and Lewis Ludlam, as well as long term friend Ian Kench.FOLLOW:· England Rugby Facebook· England Rugby Instagram· England Rugby Twitter· England Rugby TikTok· O2 Sports Instagram· O2 Sports Twitter SUBSCRIBE:· Subscribe to the pod here.
