Description
From his beginnings in Sigatoka ‘Rugby Town’ in Fiji, to gracing every top professional league in the world, rugby superstar, Nemani Nadolo’s story is an engaging one. One of the world's best Rugby Union wingers in the last twenty years, it’s not been a straight path to his many achievements and honours. Indeed at one stage it looked like Nemani might not have a career in rugby at all, but thoughts of lucrative work in the mining industry soon turned to following his passion and eventually lighting it up at a Rugby World Cup. It’s a story full of takeaways and cognisance.
I met Nemani, pre covid in a park in Oadby, Leicestershire, shortly after he had signed to play for the Leicester Tigers in the Gallagher Premiership. As the lawn mowers buzzed in the background, we spoke about the importance of understanding the individual, controlling your ego and a whole lot more. This became an emotional chat and I thank Nemani for opening up to me.
It was also a conversation I wanted to have early in The BenRyan Podcast as he was one of the first people I reached out to for advice when I began my time in Fiji. Just chatting to Nemz in a place thousands of miles away from the south pacific, instantly reminded me of the warmth of the Fijian people and the importance of family and relationships. To get the best out of anyone, first, you listen and then you learn.

Setting The Scene With Tom Fordyce: Welcome to my new podcast where each week I’ll be joined by leading coaches, athletes and educators from the world of sport and far beyond. On each episode I’ll go through my guests journey, their stories and compare with my own experiences coaching at the elite level, to pull out some greats tips and useful advice around all things performance and that often mentioned, but misunderstood word, culture. Currently I consult with some of the biggest sporting and corporate organisations in the world from Premier League Football teams to American Sporting institutions, but I’m probably best known for coaching the Fiji national rugby sevens team to world titles and the country’s first ever Olympic medal, a gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Of course I’ll draw on that amazing journey but also on the lessons I’ve learnt and the principles I’ve forged over the last 20 years working in professional sport - and that’s really what inspired me to star this podcast by The Ben Ryan Podcast
