Decoding Athletes

Find out what it takes to be an elite level athlete as we lift the lid on their personal and professional lives with unrivalled honesty leading to fascinating stories and insight from around the sporting world.

Jack Nowell - alongside his team mates, family and inspirations - delves into his experience of being an England, Exeter and British Lions rugby player with Nick Bright. Discussing life on the pitch, they also explore how players relax, how important it is to set themselves up for after their professional sporting career, the likelihood of injury as well as how to overcome it and much more.

In Season One, eight-time Flatland BMX Champion Matthias Dandois opened his contacts and spoke with some of action sports' biggest names including Danny MacAskill, Justine Dupont, Tom Pagès and many more about what makes them tick and has helped them to be lead and change their disciplines forever.
