Joe Marler: His Story of Rage, Regret and Redemption

I was at a pretty low point in my life and had a bit of a breakdown and I just didn't know who I was, what my purpose was, where I was going in life, and yet I had so much going for me. That is the voice of Joe Marler, England and Harlequin's rugby legend, celebrity traitors finalist, and one of the most honest unfiltered voices in sport. And we started this chat, it was fascinating. Joe came in and was nervous. Really nervous.

He told us that he didn't know what he had to offer to high performance because in his words I'd been shit at most things. But the interesting thing is we're not here just to talk about rugby. We're here to talk about life and how It throws us challenges that we need to learn how to overcome. He's shared a moment in 2018 when he stood in his kitchen having turned his house upside down and left his wife of seven months pregnant crying on the floor before driving off thinking the world would be better off without me.

This is Joe Marler unfiltered. Just straight out of the darkness, the breakdown and, more importantly, how he clawed his way back. We're going to dive deep into the catalyst for his mental health breakdown and the best decision he ever made. The teammate who sent him a touching message after watching the revealing documentary that he'd made. How Eddie Jones's test match Tuesdays left England players shaking with nerves, and why the best teams have always got something bigger than simply wanting to win.
