Dawson was born in the small town of Rochford, Essex. He was a talented sportsman from a young age, and he quickly rose through the ranks of English rugby.

However, Dawson's success on the field came at a price. He struggled to cope with the pressure of playing at the highest level, and he began to self-medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Dawson's addiction spiralled out of control, and he eventually lost everything. He was dropped from the England team, he lost his job, and he was estranged from his family.

But Dawson was determined to turn his life around. He checked into rehab, and he began the long road to recovery.

Today, Dawson is a happy and healthy man. He is a successful broadcaster and author, and he is passionate about helping others who are struggling with addiction.

Fully Weighted is a powerful and inspiring story of one man's journey from the depths of despair to the heights of success.

In the book, Dawson reveals:

• His struggles with depression and anxiety
• His battles with addiction
• His journey to redemption
• The unseen side of life as a professional rugby player

Fully Weighted is a must-read for any fan of rugby or anyone who enjoys a good underdog story.
