SEA4 Podcast: Southeast Asian Athlete Achievement > Adversity

While we love the competition, the glory and the roar of the crowd there is so much more to sports and nowhere is this more evident than on the Rugby pitches of Laos. From the capital city to the rural villages rugby is making a positive impact across the country. Through the Lao Rugby Federation’s developmental programs and the transnational Weredragons Rugby club people are coming together from around the world and overseas Lao people are reconnecting with their heritage. In Laos rugby is not just a game; it's a life-changing opportunity for individuals to develop the skills and the tools they need to succeed in all aspects of life. Megan Knight is a former member of the U.S.A. women U19 national team now living in Laos. Viengsamai Souksavanh is the CEO of the Lao Rugby federation. Ana Lavongtheung is a Lao-American rugby player who has played on the Weredragons and with the Lao Rugby Federation. https://www.weredragonsrugby.com/ https://www.facebook.com/laorugby Music: Summer 1984 by RKVC Photos: Courtesy of the Lao Rugby Federation
