## Resource

From a football-loving childhood in Carlisle, touring with Jonny Wilkinson at 18 to balancing a university lifestyle with professional rugby, England head coach Steve Borthwick tells his story of how, and why, leading his country means so much to him. Away from the game he opens up about his Masters in Management helped shaped his philosophy, how he gets joy in other's happiness now and the profound moment that transformed his outlook when he realised he would not want his son's to be coached by him. Steve also reveals the bonds that sees childhood friends message after games, how his Chemistry teacher fostered his love of rugby and his 'crazy' training as a teenager to try and play for England.
