#335. - Lewis Moody EXCLUSIVE - England World Cup Winner Fighting Motor Neurone Disease

Author: Dodge Woodall March 18, 2026 Duration: 2:44:36

Lewis Moody opens up about life after rugby, reflecting on the highs of captaining England to World Cup glory and the brutal physical and mental toll the sport took behind the scenes. From relentless injuries to the pressure of leading a national team, he shares how discipline, resilience and identity shaped both his playing career and the transition that followed.


He speaks about the reality of elite sport - the constant pain, the sacrifices away from family, and the struggle many athletes face when the career that defined them suddenly ends. Moody discusses rebuilding purpose after retirement, channeling the same drive that fueled his rugby career into business, media and charity work, while learning to adapt his competitive mindset to life beyond the pitch.

Fiercely committed and deeply reflective, Lewis reveals how leadership, adversity and accountability forged the person he is today - and why the lessons from rugby continue to shape everything he does.


He also speaks openly about his Motor Neurone Disease (MND) diagnosis, sharing how the progressive condition has changed daily life while highlighting the resilience and mindset he’s using to face it - focusing on staying positive, adapting to the challenges, and continuing to support awareness for MND within the rugby community.


This is the eventful life of Lewis Moody.
