Tom Gilbert sits down with Chris Titley to reflect on a year that traded game time for perspective. After a season dominated by rehab, Tom found unexpected gains in fatherhood and family time, and he talks openly about the emotional work of stepping away from the club and why putting his family first ultimately made him a better teammate and person.
He breaks down the simple performance habits that matter most: sleep, nutrition, hydration and consistent rehab, and explains how small investments at home and deliberate routines give him the platform to train and compete. Tom also explores leadership in practice, describing the loneliness of tough decisions, the value of authentic, adaptive communication, and why building culture starts with recruiting people who turn up every day.
Tom shares his scoreboard moment, his ambitions for a premiership and representative honours, and a clear message about enjoying the game while doing the fundamentals brilliantly.
