James Haskell

James Haskell has enjoyed an impressive career on the rugby pitch. The flanker has featured for some of the biggest rugby clubs in the world, as well as making 77 caps at international level. James moved to Northampton Saints in 2016 after securing win after win at several clubs. He first came to the world's attention as a teenager, making his Wasps debut at 18. He was a naturally gifted player with a drive to succeed, and this mindset quickly allowed James to distinguish himself from other young players in the game. 

After representing England at all the youth levels, James's efforts won him an international call-up, and he soon became a key player in the England team. He made his international debut at the 2007 Six Nations against Wales. James narrowly missed out on selection for the 2007 World Cup side but was back again in 2008, when he played a key part in England's second-place finish at the Six Nations. James played a part in the 2009 Six Nations when England again finished in second place.

Later in his career, James scored two tries in the opening match of the 2010 Six Nations. James was a member of the 2011 World Cup team that reached the quarter-finals and again in the 2015 Rugby World Cup team. Alongside his international appearances, he has played for the British and Irish Lions twice, becoming the man of the series in the 3-0 series win over Australia. More recently, James has swapped the pitch for the stage and embarked on a DJ career, including headlining LIT7s London 7s After Party at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in 2024. He has also dominated the podcasting industry with his show The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, presenting alongside Alex Payne and Mike Tindall.

He can speak expertly about peak performance, teamwork, leadership, drive, sporting success, and more.
