Graham Hogg

Graham Hogg is a Scottish rugby union coach and former player. He played for Scotland 7s. He is a founder of Make Minds Move, a mental health charity.

Rugby union career Amateur career He played for Hawick.

He played for the 'G-Force' team of East Grinstead.

Provincial and professional career He played for Borders U16 and Borders U18 grades.

International career He was capped at age-grades for Scotland at Under 18, Under 19 and Under 20s.

He then went on to secure Scotland 7s caps, and represented Scotland in the Hong Kong Sevens event twice. Adam was my captain when I played down south at G-Force in East Grinstead and I gave him a call because I knew he was involved in events and could help me perhaps get the cycling challenge off the ground.

He was keen to help and we also got chatting about mental health issues that we had both faced in our careers. We both played at good levels, but went through a lot of different things and we are really passionate about trying to help guys who are transitioning out of rugby and the younger generation coming through.

We don't want them to get as low as we were at one stage and we hope that Make Minds Move can get more guys talking with their team mates and their former team mates as well as opening up in general with the physical challenges thrown in to really get people focused on something away from the rugby field, but something that is testing and fun.

Hogg and Clayton completed a 24 hour cycling marathon in June 2020.

Business career He was a Sports Agent for TDB Sports in 2020.
