My love affair with waves began as a fourteen-year-old boy on the rugged swell sucking beaches of Western Australia. I was so pumped full of adrenaline after my first surf that I could not sleep. In this moment, I realised that ocean life was for me. The only snag in my plan was that I lived on the South Coast of England (nowhere near any world class waves) and was particularly good at another sport; rugby. Good enough to be picked up by Saracens RFC. That's when things got a little dark - I broke my leg and dislocated my ankle in a pre-season warm-up game and that was that - professional rugby career done. I then went into business for twelve years, which I greatly enjoyed and became obsessed by. I lost sight of who I really was and what kind of life I wanted to live. I longed for the ocean life that I'd visualised as a boy. So, I moved to Newquay ten years ago, became a model and started surfing everyday. In 2019, I decided to take it more seriously, with a simple objective to become Britain's best bodyboarder. I am currently ranked 7th in England.

This includes how to adjust running mechanics to reduces the chances of injury, and the key markers and ratios to monitor that show an athlete's progress and performance capability.

Would you forgive a criminal? Today's guest is a man who undertook the task of visiting prisoners and getting to know them and their histories. Years have passed since William Fraser started his foundation to help people, especially those who remain in jail for misdemeanors. William believes that with support, coaching, and making a change in the employment crisis that his country is going through, it is possible to prevent these people from falling back into the same paths. In this episode, we bring this fascinating topic to the table. Do you think we can prevent criminals from going back to prison? ABOUT WILLIAM FRASER Will is an ex-professional rugby player for Saracens RFC. Will joined the Saracens Academy in 2005 aged just 14 and was a member of the famed 'Class of 08,' alongside the likes of Owen Farrell & Jamie George. After a ten-year playing career, unfortunately, he was forced to retire from playing in 2017 as a result of a neck injury. In 2020, Will took his first entrepreneurial step in launching 100 & First. This foundation was born from the realization of the power of incredible real-life experiences and how (if told in the right way) the learnings from them apply to any person or environment. The only difference is the context in which they are applied.

For sports professionals, sleep is part of the recipe for success. With increased scrutiny on treating it as an essential activity alongside training and nutrition, we chatted about how to put the right level of emphasis on it without piling on the pressure, the best time to take a nap and how to cope on the road when you’re a strapping lad squeezed into a single bed.
