About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with Tim Swiel, professional rugby player and friend of mine, to unpack his career.

Tim shares honest insight into the pressures of professional rugby, coming through the ranks of South African rugby, and how he has used rugby to travel the world.

As Tim transitions into working in mental performance and mindset coaching, we explore why this space matters so deeply in elite sport, how mental skills separate good players from great ones, and what athletes (and non-athletes) can learn about improving their mental game.

Topics covered:

  • Tim Swiel’s rugby journey and professional career

  • The mental demands of elite sport

  • Handling pressure, confidence, and setbacks

  • How the springboks have been leading the rugby landscape

  • Why mental performance is the future of sport

Whether you’re a rugby fan, athlete, or someone interested in mindset and performance, this episode delivers real perspective and practical insight.
