At 27, he made headlines around the world for his stand-out performances with the Australian Wallabies during the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
But David Pocock’s road to sporting success has not been easy. Fleeing to Australia from Zimbabwe at the age of 14, Pocock overcame teenage emotional trauma through sport, and an obsessive determination to succeed.
Later, as major injuries threatened to end his rugby career, he fought just as obsessively to overcome every setback.
Now he’s directing his passion towards social and environmental change in Australia and Africa – and is prepared to risk his rugby career for what he believes in.
In True Grit: David Pocock, his partner Emma and his family reveal the inside story of one of Australia’s most remarkable contemporary sports stars.
The Westerner has one copy of True Grit: David Pocock (ABC DVD, RRP $24.95) to give away.
