A streaming of the recorded interview-style conversation with Ben Youngs, one of England's most experienced international rugby players, which is taking place at the Lloyd's Building on 11th June. He is England's most capped men's rugby player (127 caps) and a world-class scrum-half who has performed at the highest level for over a decade.
The session focuses on Ben's personal story: resilience, leadership, performance under pressure, personal health challenges and the importance of early action, and his autobiography Beyond the Line: My Life in Rugby deepens that narrative with themes of loyalty, family, performance and humanity that resonate powerfully with a professional audience.
