What happens when life hits harder than any tackle?
In this episode of Changing Lanes, I’m joined by Sam Leeming. A man who has had one hell of a journey from the world of elite sport to deep personal growth is as raw as it is inspiring.
From a cancer diagnosis to having to retire early due to concussion. From moving to France with limited French to finding a new purpose after his playing career. What followed was a complete re-evaluation of identity, masculinity, and mental health.
Sam shares some gold dust on the cost of tying identity to performance. How life’s interruptions can become invitations to grow, and what it means to slow down and reflect truly.
