James Haskell | From England Rugby to DJing, Fame & Starting Over

Former England international James Haskell joins Performance People for an unfiltered conversation about elite sport, leadership, mental resilience and life after rugby. Haskell reflects on the unlikely England call-up that changed his career, the sometimes brutal honesty of international environments, and why blocking out external noise became essential to his performance. He explains how early exposure to criticism, and therapy from a young age, shaped his mindset long before conversations around mental health became mainstream. The episode dives deep into team culture at the highest level: why different personalities matter, how real leaders earn respect, and the balance between discipline, individuality and accountability. Drawing on experiences across multiple England coaches, Haskell reveals what separates winning environments from dysfunctional ones and why clarity, standards and trust are non-negotiable. Beyond rugby, he opens up about retirement, reinvention and identity, discussing the challenges athletes face when the structure of professional sport disappears. Now balancing podcasting, music, business ventures and fatherhood, Haskell explains why growth doesn’t stop when sport ends and why success in any field comes down to self-awareness, honest feedback and personal responsibility. Reloaded – The Good, The Bad and The Rugby by Alex Payne, James Haskell and Mike Tindall is available now (HarperNonFiction).
