Episode 31 took my all the way to the UK to chat with current Wealdstone FC defender and former Crystal Palace player Nikola Tavares! I really enjoyed the insights that Nik shared into his journey, the culture that was cultivated under Roy Hodgson and the experience of sitting on the bench four times in the Premier League. Nik also shared about the pressures of training and the kind of expectations that your are required to meet at such a high performance environment.
I absolutely loved my chat with future Springbok Evan Roos. A man who at the young age of 21, has taken the South African Rugby community by storm with his performances but is one of the most humble guys I've had the privilege of chatting too and has such a big future in this game and in life. I hope you guys enjoy!

Daryns YouTube Chanel: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC_SrH_3fOsd3hLFAixtNHZg The 11th chat bought out insight into the life of a player that sustained injuries for 2 years and off the back of that lost his franchise contract. Frustrating would be the word.

7 years with the DHL Stormers. 12 years with the Springboks, over 100 tests and World Cup winner. Yup, I most definitely was in the midst of springbok rugby royalty
To say that DHL Western Province and DHL Stormers lock forward, Chris Van Zyl is a legend and serious role model to all would be an understatement.

Thank you Chris for everything you shared and I am positive this is going to help a lot of people ⚡️
As far as down to earth athletes go, don't look much further than DHL Western Province and DHL Stormers scrum half Paul De Wet. This is a fairly different episode but was hellavu fun to record. As some some you may have seen, I gave Afrikaans a crack in the intro for the first time since matric (I rehearsed. A lot) but still fairly happy with the final result
First of all, thank you Dylan Sage for coming on! Sometimes us as the public see sportsmen and sportswomen for there performances on the field and not for what they are off it. I think it's important that athletes get this opportunity to express themselves as people before sportsmen or sportswomen. Dylan has had a successful career thus far and shares some awesome insight into the Blitzboks and The Bulls as well as opening up about how he is coping with being side lined for 6+ months.
