“Playing for my country was probably one of the proudest moments I’ve ever had.”
Following the announcement of our two-year partnership with Bristol Bears, we were delighted to welcome the club to David Spear HQ for a visit that marked the start of what promises to be an exciting collaboration. As part of the day, we sat down with one of Welsh rugby’s most recognisable talents, Louis Rees-Zammit, for a special episode of The David Spear Podcast.
Joined by Bristol Bears CEO Tom Tainton and first-team players AJ MacGinty and Gabriel Ibitoye, the visit included a site tour, vehicle test drives, photo opportunities, and a podcast recording packed with energy, insight, and plenty of humour.
However, the conversation with Louis went far beyond the surface.
During the episode, Louis reflects on the immense pride of representing Wales on the international stage, the pressure that comes with elite performance, and the defining moments that shape a professional athlete’s journey. He also discusses his headline-grabbing decision to pursue a new career in the NFL, a move that captured attention across the rugby world and the United States alike.
The episode explores his return to rugby and arrival at Bristol Bears, with teammates quick to comment on his extraordinary pace —
“I’ve never seen someone run so fast, it’s actually quite scary.”
Louis also shares his thoughts ahead of major fixtures, including the intensity and anticipation of Six Nations clashes, with England waiting in red-hot form.
This is an open and engaging conversation about ambition, courage, identity, and performing under pressure at the highest level.
