Descrição do livro
Offloading – Tackling My Truth is the powerful and deeply personal memoir of former Wales and Lions rugby international Dafydd James, who poignantly and courageously reveals the human cost of achieving success in an elite sport that demanded everything.
Capped 48 times for Wales, and in all three Lions Tests on the 2001 tour of Australia, Dafydd enjoyed a highly distinguished 15-year playing career with three Welsh regions – Celtic Warriors, Scarlets and Cardiff Blues – and five first-class clubs – Bridgend, Pontypridd, Llanelli, Harlequins and Sale – during which he scored 129 tries and played in two Rugby World Cups.
At its heart, this is a very emotional story told with striking honesty, in which Dafydd provides a fascinating insider’s view of professional rugby’s early years and his immense pride at playing for Wales, but also discloses how the heavy mental toll of chasing greatness resulted in perpetual self-doubt and deep psychological insecurities that changed his life.
