Running the Game: Inside and Beyond Rugby with USA Eagles Scrumhalf Mose Timoteo

In this episode, hosts Austin and Dietrich sit down for a wide-ranging, in-depth interview with Mose Timoteo, former USA Eagles scrumhalf, for an honest look at both his rugby career and the person behind the jersey. Mose walks through his journey into the sport, what drew him to the scrumhalf position, and the dedication it took to rise through the ranks and represent the United States on the international stage.

The conversation is packed with stories from his time with the Eagles, including memorable matches, training environments, and the pressures that come with leading a team from the base of the scrum. Mose reflects on the teammates and coaches who shaped his development, the challenges American players face competing globally, and what he believes needs to change for USA Rugby to continue moving forward.

Beyond the pitch, Austin and Dietrich dive into Mose’s life outside of rugby—how he balanced the demands of elite sport with personal responsibilities, the transition away from professional rugby, and how the lessons he learned on the field continue to influence his career, mindset, and everyday life. Mose also shares advice for young players chasing the dream of wearing the Eagles jersey and offers perspective on what success really looks like after the final whistle.

Whether you’re a die-hard rugby supporter or simply interested in the human stories behind professional athletes, this episode delivers insight, honesty, and reflection from one of the USA’s former international playmakers.
