Send us a text

Joe Shaw is the head coach at Saracens Rugby Club based in North London, and the current Premiership Rugby Champions. A former school mate of Andy's, this is a rare interview where Joe opens up about the importance of team culture in elite sport. Andy is also joined in this episode by Isobelle Panton (UA92) as a special guest host. 

Teaching and coaching in different cultures is no easy task and Joe explains some of his mistakes along the way.  From breaking team mates out of jail in Manila to team building trips to Lollapalooza, this is a fascinating insight into the bonds we create with each other along life's journey. The pack, the ruck, the scrum. Good teams are for life.
