Coach: Lessons from an All Blacks Legend
Description
All Blacks coaching legend and mentor Mike Cron on what coaching rugby can teach us about life, leadership and team-building.
One of the most successful coaches in world sport offers insights on leadership, high performance, teamwork and creating a winning culture.
Mike Cron was an All Blacks coach over 217 games. He was instrumental in the success of one the greatest sports dynasties ever - an All Blacks side that lost just 14 games of the 103 they played, won two successive world cups, and set a new world record for their time ranked as number one.
In 2022 he came out of retirement to help the Black Ferns, adding another world cup title to his record, and in 2024 he joined Joe Schmidt to coach the Australian national rugby team, the Wallabies.
Coach: Lessons from an All Blacks Legend recounts a remarkable coaching career and reveals what Mike has learned about how to manage people, finding the competitive edge, and the philosophies of a champion team.
