Alex Davis | Finding a ‘Why?’

Most athlete’s careers are full of highs and lows, but for Alex the peaks and troughs have been bigger than most. Medals at the Commonwealth Games and the Rugby Sevens World Cup have come alongside the death of his father, a series of long-term injuries and Olympic heartbreak. Alex’s strength to bounce-back from these set-backs is phenomenal and his willingness to speak openly about them is inspirational. 
During the session, Alex also talks about starting the social-media-famous ‘Shave, Donate, Nominate’ Campaign, his ambitions for Tokyo 2021, and his advice for young sportspeople on how finding their 'why' can help to keep levels of motivation and resilience high. 
Alex is a central figure in the England Rugby Sevens team, determined to reach Tokyo 2021. To support the team’s goal of reaching next year’s Olympics go to @englandrugbysevens on Instagram & https://www.pledgesports.org/projects/england-rugby-sevens-road-to-tokyo/.
