Rally Report Episode 39 - Declan James

Welcome back to episode 39! Was a treat to have Declan join us on the pod and candidly speak about how he's been doing these past couple years on tour. Got into how he thinks the game has changed as of late, the issues on tour right now (and his solutions), his own personal struggles and also his partnership with Nick Matthew. He's already off to a fantastic start to the season and has got a lot more in the tank - so don't count him out! Enjoy.

Great episode. Declan's such a stand-up guy. Hoping he can get back to where he was, but even if not he seems to have a great POV on his career.
