Biography
Will Greenwood is one of England’s greatest ever rugby players as well as one of the sport’s most engaging, intelligent, outspoken and witty characters. He made his international debut in 1997 and amassed 55 caps scoring 31 tries, the second highest in English history.
In the 2003 World Cup he was one of England’s most consistent performers, scoring 5 tries along the way. His defence in the midfield was unbelievable and his running as sharp as ever, making him the kind of player that amateur players want to play like, and professionals want to play with. He later went on to tour with the British & Irish Lions in 2005 before deciding to hang up his boots at the end of the 2005/06 season.
Now a contracted analyst for Sky Sports, Will's unique insight is one of the highlights of their rugby coverage and he has also become one of the standout writers of The Daily Telegraph's sports coverage through a weekly column that regularly makes the front page of the newspaper's sport section. At the 2007 Rugby World Cup, ITV Sport utilized his talents signing him up to be one of their key Rugby Experts during their coverage of the tournament.
In the modern era of professional sport, very few sporting stars can claim to have achieved in both business and sport. Will's career as a junior trader at HSBC prior to him committing to a professional career in rugby union makes him one such individual and as such, his presentations on business are as incisive and thought-provoking as those in relation to his rugby career. The attributes required to perform in both professional arenas are central to his delivery of such talks, focusing on leadership, motivation and teamwork - themes that resonate across both careers.
