Show Notes

Wayne Rooney sits down with Luke Littler. What does it feel like to perform under pressure as a teenager? How do you block out the noise when the whole world is watching? Also just how does Luke get on with Luke Humphries, and is taking risks the only way to reach the very top?

From Luke's rapid rise and fearless approach on the biggest stages, to Waynes own experiences at Manchester United and England, the pair explore the mentality required to succeed at the highest level.

They debate the moments that define greatness - would you rather score a last-minute winner at Old Trafford, or hit a nine-darter under the lights? And why do the very best, from Phil Taylor to Roger Federer, have what it takes to reach the very top?
