This week we spoke with Stefania Evans — Canadian international and entrepreneur who’s built an incredible brand, RUGGETTE RFC outside the game. Stef shared her inspiring story, her journey back into rugby, and her perspective on the rapid growth of the women’s game. Key takeaways 💡 🏉 The women’s game is booming — but it must stay true to itself. 🎭 Rugby is about entertainment — players, teams, and leagues should embrace that! 🚫 Don’t follow the same mistakes made in the men’s game — focus on connection and creativity. 📊 Statistically, the ball is passed more in the women’s game — faster, more open, more engaging. 🌟 Stef’s story proves that identity and purpose beyond the pitch can strengthen your game on it. 👉 Listen to the full episode and hear how Stef is helping shape the future of rugby: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/e5bxdj4t Apple: https://lnkd.in/ez-4KHwC YouTube: https://lnkd.in/e_TsqhJb @Gurthro Steenkamp @Ben Pegna

👋 Welcome to the Lessons from the Game Podcast Community Hey everyone – Ben and Coach G @Gurthro Steenkamp here We’re so glad you’ve joined us! This space was born out of our shared passion for learning from the journeys, challenges, and victories of people in rugby, business, and life. Through the Lessons from the Game podcast 🎙️, we’ve been lucky enough to have conversations with some incredible guests – people who’ve been at the top of their game, who’ve faced adversity, and who’ve found ways to keep growing 🚀 But we didn’t want those lessons to just live in the episodes. This community is here so we can: 🎙 Dive deeper into the insights from each podcast guest 🤝 Connect with others who share the same drive and curiosity 💡 Share our own experiences and lessons learned along the way 📈 Support each other in applying these ideas in sport, business, and life Our goal is to make this a living, breathing extension of the podcast – where the conversations don’t end when the episode does. We’re looking forward to learning together, challenging each other, and building a community that thrives on shared wisdom and action. Let’s get started – introduce yourself in the comments and tell us what “lessons from the game” means to you! Ben & Coach G @Gurthro Steenkamp
