About this Podcast:
🎙 From Test Winger to Players’ Champion to Agency Founder
Are you ready to discover what true leadership looks like beyond the field? In this episode of The Business End, we sit down with Niall Woods — former Ireland international, CEO of Rugby Players Ireland, and founder of Navy Blue Sports — to explore what it means to redefine leadership through humility, hard work, and a player-first mindset.
We’ll cover:
✅ His journey from the dressing room to the boardroom
✅ How he built a “player-first” movement through honesty and authenticity
✅ Lessons in reinvention, negotiation under pressure, and leading without ego
✅ Why the real power in leadership lies in listening, not shouting
By the end, you’ll understand how Niall turned experience into impact — and how you can apply his principles of respect, reinvention, and resilience to your own career.
