Good morning CC babes, we are so excited to be joining you today with the legend that is Demi Hayes. She is a professional Rugby 7’s player, an Olympic Athlete, a powerhouse of a human and a bloody good yarn! This conversation is full of tough realities, sacrifice, how she managed to bounce back from injuries and it showcases how she truly is the queen of ‘reflection and gratitude'. Throughout her career she has had many successes, some including a 5th in the Olympic games, a Commonwealth gold, a 2022 triple crown win and captaining and co-captaining her team to glory for a couple of years. 

Demi takes us behind the medals and headlines and into the real cost of chasing excellence: the pressure, the setbacks, the injuries, and the moments she had to decide whether to give up or go again.

Spoiler: she went again. Every time.

This conversation is the definition of ‘choosing your hard’ and Demi shows just that through her resilience, mental state and bouncing back from injury and setbacks.

We dive into:

• what it takes to rebuild
• the mental game behind elite sport (and life)
• how she uses 'goalposts' to keep herself accountable and aligned
• life on the road with the 7s team
• her wedding and what life outside of the sport looks like

If you need a reminder to bet on yourself, back your effort, and keep going even when things get tough — this episode is it.
