Stepping off the field and into the boardroom, Sidney Kumar, former National rugby player and current GM of the Singapore Rugby Union, joins us to trace the arc of his career in the sport that shaped his life. From the vibrant tales of his formative years, juggling multiple CCAs with a mischievous streak, to the demanding yet fulfilling life of a national athlete, Sidney paints a vivid picture of his evolution both on and off the rugby pitch. Our conversation dives into the heart of rugby, revealing profound lessons of respect and camaraderie that mark the sport's enduring culture.

Sidney's story is not just about personal glory; it's about the commitment and sacrifices that come with representing your country, a sentiment any dedicated athlete can resonate with. We also wander into the lesser-spoken-about aspects of the sport: the myths, the inclusivity, and the emotional journey from the pinnacle highs to the devastating lows of national team selection.

In the final strides of our session, Sidney takes us through the pivotal moments of his post-playing career. From launching Spotify Kids—an initiative to bring sports to children—to eventually taking the helm at the Singapore Rugby Union.

The essence of our discussion is clear: the hustle for the love of rugby never fades, and for Sidney Kumar, it's about passing on that passion to the next generation, one tackle at a time. Tune in for an episode that's as full of heart as a Haka chant.
