The Breakdown with Orla Chennaoui and Greg Rutherford

Ronnie O'Sullivan

We’ve taken a short break to make way for an epic summer of sport, but we’re back with a bang with none other than the legendary Ronnie O’Sullivan. In an incredibly open conversation with Orla Chennaoui and Greg Rutherford, Ronnie takes us back to the dark places he promised himself he’d never return to en route to winning his record-equalling seventh World Snooker Championship title. He also opens up about his experiences with anxiety over the last decade, the invaluable buzz he gets from running and his revolutionary work with psychiatrist Steve Peters on taking ownership of his thoughts: “It’s about parking it up; we’re not dealing with that now, we’ll chat about that later but not right now while you’re trying to win this snooker match…” Audio Editor: Phil GolstonFootage Editor: Phil GolstonCameras: Alex GilesProduction Manager: Maria Pilkington Produced by Orla Chennaoui and Pete Burton Hosted on Acast.
