  Josh Lewsey is a household name in English rugby. He has been a Rugby World Cup winner, part of the prestigious British Lions squad and a crucial member of the Wasps team, one of the most successful UK premiership rugby sides of the last 10 years. Not content with just being a rugby player, his life off the pitch has been equally impressive. He is a graduate in both Law and Physiology, a former Army Officer and an avid adventurer. This fascinating and humorous autobiography follows the highs and the lows that inevitably come from being at the top of a professional sport. His refreshingly honest approach means that he offers real insight into the personalities and attitudes that make up the rugby world, as well as the lessons that he has learnt along the way to reach the pinnacle of his game.

  Josh Lewsey is one of the most successful English rugby players of all time. He has won every trophy in the sport at both national and international level and is renowned for his unconventionally broad interests and achievements. Outside the game, Josh is a university graduate in both Physiology and Law, a former Army Officer and has a love for adventure (he even trekked to K2 during one summer off). These achievements are a mark of his drive, passion and energy, and his will to make the most of life both on and off the field. In this intelligent, self-effacing and humorous account of his life so far, Josh speaks about his time at Wasps and as a member of the England team, including the World Cup winning team of 2003, as well as his many other experiences, and shares some of the lessons he has learned along the way. It is a unique look at life at the top of professional sport and a fascinating insight into the characters and relationships that make up the world of professional rugby.
