The All Blacks rugby union team has a history spanning over 115 years. They are the most successful sporting team in history.
Nic (Gilly) has taken New Zealand’s All Blacks to four rugby World Cups as their Strength & Conditioning coach amassing over 200 tests (so far) and being with the team when they won the back to back 2011 & 2015 World cups
In this fascinating exposé into Gilly’s world as one of the most accomplished Strength & conditioning coaches globally, he shares with Andrew -
- Why having a home base in New Zealand did not work out for the All Blacks
- Dual international Brad Thorn’s inspiration on Sam Whitelock.
- Sam at time of recording is the longest serving All Black with 153 games (Richie McCaw is 2nd with 148 test matches)
- Stories on greatness on the rugby pitch and also off the rugby pitch with Jordie Barrett
- The simple strategy Gilly passed on to Ma’a Nonu to help him with his body composition as a part of the equation for him to become virtually unstoppable as a rugby player.
- Conrad Smith hitting a PB on the bench in the lead up to the Rugby World Cup, and being as stoked as winning the world cup…..almost!
- Common characteristics of the head coaches he has worked with such as Ian Foster, Sir Steve Hanson, & Sir Graham Henry
- A word to young athletes wanting to be an All Black or reach to heights akin to playing for the All Blacks…and more
