Emma Raducanu, the young British tennis sensation who won the 2021 US Open, and Brighton and Hove Albion manager Fabian Hurzeler have been spotted at England's men's rugby union training camp this week. The pair's visit was reportedly to share their experiences with the squad, which includes coach Steve Borthwick.
Borthwick has said that he values the duo's attendance, highlighting how they can provide unique insights into individual preparation and mental toughness. Raducanu, who became the youngest female player to win a Grand Slam title in 17 years, was particularly keen to share her expertise on preparing for top-level competitions.
Hurzeler, meanwhile, brought his own brand of leadership expertise, speaking to players about team dynamics and the importance of teamwork. His presence also offered an opportunity for the England squad to tap into Hurzeler's experience as a young manager in the Premier League.
Former England players Chris Ashton, Marko Vunipola, and Danny Care were also on hand to offer their guidance, adding to a week that has seen several high-profile figures share their knowledge with the team.
