Dealing with the Anxiety & Fear of Life After Rugby with Alex Goode

Screw It Just Do It with Alex Chisnall

Alex Goode is one of the most versatile rugby players in the club's back division and had developed into a star for Saracens playing over 330 games. On top of an impressive club career, Alex has also enjoyed a highly successful international career. Most recently, he has been a key member of the Saracens squad that secured second place in the Aviva and Gallagher Premiership. He was also been named the European Player of the Year by EPCR in January 2019. Whilst his passion for rugby remains undimmed, he's still demonstrating his leadership qualities by captaining Saracens and his versatility by playing both flyhalf and fullback. By the age of 34, his thoughts turn to what life after rugby could look like. During our conversation at Alex's home in North London, with many dashes tucked under his arm instead of a rugby ball, we talk about how your passion is the fundamental baseline to being successful, how to work hard to get on top of your game, life after rugby and his biggest fear and how to deal with anxiety, stress and putting pressure on oneself.
