Dec 02, 2017•1 hr 22 min
Episode description
This is another episode with a sporting legend that we don’t really talk much about their sporting career because he has so much to offer from his other life experiences.
Clyde Rathbone is a former Australian Rugby Union player, turned mental health advocate, writer and entrepreneur.
He was born in South Africa where he played all of his junior years of Rugby, before signing with the ACT Brumbies in Australia at the age of 22.
Clydes career lasted only 7 seasons in Australia before he was forced to retire due to injuries, but 3 years after retiring he made a comeback for one last season, again with the Brumbies.
He also played for the Australian Wallabies national team for 3 years and was qualified to play by virtue of having an Australia-born paternal grandmother.
In this episode you will learn:
How the development of a positive social media platform is harnessing the power of human stories and creating a cyclone of gratitude
You will learn about depression in sport from a lived experience,
How studying and practicing mindfulness and meditation has helped to save Clydes life
The difference between being fit and being healthy, and this relationship to Optimal Living
And how you can have the opportunity to enhance any relationship in your life and also get a kick out of it yourself by joining the Karma community
