Darius Boyd Urges Teammates to Go Vegan After Watching *The Game Changers
NRL great Darius Boyd is encouraging his former teammates to adopt a plant-based diet after being inspired by *The Game Changers*, the popular Netflix documentary produced by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film, which explores the benefits of a vegan diet for athletic performance, has sparked debates worldwide, and Boyd is the latest high-profile athlete to embrace its message.
The former Brisbane Broncos captain, who retired from professional rugby league in 2020, was reportedly impressed by the documentary’s scientific claims about plant-based nutrition improving endurance, strength, and recovery. Boyd believes switching to a vegan or plant-focused diet could help his ex-teammates enhance their performance and overall health.
In interviews, Boyd has expressed his growing interest in nutrition and wellness since stepping away from the NRL. He credits *The Game Changers* with challenging traditional ideas about meat consumption in sports and highlighting how elite athletes, from Olympic lifters to ultra-marathon runners, thrive on plant-based diets.
While some in the rugby league community remain skeptical about whether a vegan diet can support the intense physical demands of the sport, Boyd insists that the benefits are worth considering. He has reportedly discussed the documentary’s insights with former teammates, encouraging them to explore plant-based meals and see how their bodies respond.
Boyd joins a growing number of athletes, including Lewis Hamilton and Novak Djokovic, who advocate for plant-based eating. Whether his ex-teammates will follow suit remains to be seen, but Boyd’s enthusiasm suggests that *The Game Changers* has made a lasting impact on him.
