Join us at Kibworth Cricket Club for an evening with Leicester Tigers and England rugby player Ben Youngs. Ben will be talking all things rugby and about his new book, followed by a Q&A session. Ben will also be signing copies of his new book Beyond the Line: My Life in Rugby purchased from Kibworth Books on the night or via pre-order here.About the book:
World Cups. Lions Tours. Playing alongside and under some of the biggest names in
rugby, including his own brother. Ben Youngs has done it all and seen it all, so is in a
unique position to tell the definitive story of the past fifteen years of English rugby
through his own journey. His autobiography will be bursting with stories from his
England and Leicester days, such as that remarkable eighteen-match unbeaten
streak under Eddie Jones, when Ben was the first choice number 9.
But this book is so much more than just another rugby story. It will capture Ben’s
warm and engaging character, but it w ill also reveal in stark honesty the dark times
he went through, particularly when his family was ripped apart by the deaths of both
his sister-in-law and his brother-in-law . For the first time, Ben will talk candidly about
how he overcame those difficulties with the help of the national team’s psychologist.
Ben has always been a fan favourite, but that status has been further cemented
through his podcast, For the Love of Rugby, which is proving to be hugely popular
among rugby devotees. At the heart of this story lies an unbreakable brotherly bond.
No other player has a tale like it.
About Ben:
Famous for his skills on the rugby pitch for the Leicester Tigers and as England's most capped scrum-half with over 85 appearances and 12 international tries, Ben Youngs knows how to reach goals and the work that's involved in attaining them.
