Shownotes

Tim Percival – the communications strategist behind England Rugby and the British & Irish Lions – joins Inside The Mind of Champions to unpack how elite leaders manage the media when the pressure is on.

From shaping the narrative in high-stakes moments to handling crises, social media storms, and those curve-ball questions that can derail a reputation, Jeremy and Tim reveal the playbook used by world-class coaches like Jürgen Klopp, Emma Hayes, Eddie Jones, and Tony Pulis. It’s a sharp, behind-the-scenes look at how top performers influence perception, protect their team, and keep control of the story, with practical lessons you can use in any boardroom or briefing.
