Building basic rugby skills with pro rugby star christian dyer

obsesh for athletes

it’s been a busy 2021 for christian dyer, and he stops by the athlete’s obseshion to talk about it


Growing up in Sacramento, California, rugby was a sport that became ingrained into Christian Dyer’s life. Years late, the sport is still the biggest part of Christian’s life.

After playing for the storied Jesuit High School, a powerhouse school that produces professional athletes across the spectrum, Christian continued his career at Cal where he shined. At Cal, not only did Christian pick up numerous appearances for the school’s historic rugby program, but he also picked up the motto of which he still lives by: Everything’s earned, nothing’s guaranteed.


Christian continued to earn his success this year, with his first cap for Team USA rugby. The moment, which he achieved through hard work and sacrifice, is one that he trained his whole life for. His latest contract is with the Houston Sabercats of Major League Rugby, of which he’ll get his first professional taste of 15’s Rugby. For more of Christian’s story, and to learn about how he feels how the game of Rugby has progressed in the United States, check out his episode of The Athlete’s Obseshion below.
