When I sit down to speak with Jonny Wilkinson we’ve just finished a group mindfulness exercise, led by him. It’s a little surreal, but personally, I wish all interviews could begin this way, because now that we’re speaking one-on-one there’s a sense of calm in the room.
Wilkinson is deeply passionate about wellbeing, in every sense of the word. The shortest of exchanges with him would reveal as much – from gut health to recovery, he has a view on all of it. His favourite subject, however, is mindfulness which is how I’ve found myself, post-guided meditation, discussing the importance of staying present in the moment with a sporting legend.
