I Knew I Had To Be Ten Times Better | Lekker Rugby Pod

Gurthrö Steenkamp won a World Cup. Two years later he was humiliated in public and told he would never wear the Springbok jersey again. Most players would have blamed politics or bad luck. He went back to work. What makes this conversation different is not the medals or the setbacks. It is the way he thinks. Gurthrö decided early that he had to be ten times better to earn his place, and he built his life around that standard. Not for one season. Not for one contract. As a code. We talk about the year he was written off, the uncomfortable self-audit that followed, and the discipline required to reclaim credibility at the highest level. We get into the danger of comfort after success, the reality of the championship hangover, and why dominance in a scrum begins long before match day. This episode moves beyond rugby war stories. It is about identity. About designing your habits instead of drifting through them. About training resilience in the gym, in the video room and in the quiet decisions nobody applauds. You seldom meet someone who has thought this deliberately about how he wants to live, and then done the work to align his actions with it. That is what makes this conversation different.
