With the Lions Rugby Test Series about to kick off, it was awesome to sit down and speak with former Bath, England and Lions player, Matt Perry.

This was a fantastic chat with Matt, who is founder of Transition15, a company which accelerates high performance team dynamics, as he shared his lessons and insights drawing on sport, business and life.

We spoke of many things, including :

• What meeting principle did Sir Clive Woodward teach
• Coaching, and what makes a good coach
• Attitude, commitment and getting outside of your comfort zone
• The importance of luck
• Dealing with pressure
• Of course, it was a great opportunity to talk Lions, including thoughts on who will make the Test team, and series predictions. It was also brilliant to hear Matt's experiences as a Lion, and how he found out he was a Lion and what was it like to play in the same side as Jason Robinson
