This week’s guest on BTR is former Panthers, Wests Tigers and NSW prop, Tim Grant. Much of the chat with Tim is about his role at the Wests Tigers as head of wellbeing, and we take a deeper dive into the link between mental wellbeing and player performance.  He talks openly about his own battles post-retirement, and the struggles of others who failed to cope when all they knew was suddenly taken away.  These days he’s helping players in many ways, whether just there as a friend who’ll listen, or helping them form a ‘plan p’ for the transition post-retirement. He also talks about his penchant for pruning hedges, and his football-loving grandma who was a nurse, who would stich up the wounds of his fathers’ bush-footy teammates, without anaesthetic!  All that and more in episode 47 of Behind the Roar.
