Mastermind: Tim Percival Shares the Media Game Plans of the World’s Best Coaches

Tim Percival – the communications strategist behind England Rugby and the British & Irish Lions – joins Inside The Mind of Champions to unpack how elite leaders manage the media when the pressure is on.

It’s a sharp, behind-the-scenes look at how top performers influence perception, protect their team, and keep control of the story, with practical lessons you can use in any boardroom or briefing.
