Elibert Enoka - The Game Within The Game

When you join the NZ All Blacks Rugby Team, the legacy you step into is far more intimidating than any opponent you’ll face. Add to that the pressure, expectations and weight of a nation and you have the ultimate game within the game. We sit down with Gilbert Enoka - All Blacks Leadership Manager, internationally renowned mental skills coach, and the man who's known for being able to get inside the head of one of the greatest international sports teams in history. His straight up, no b/s Kiwi approach to greatness and the man who created the 'No Dickheads' policy with the motto "if you can't change the people, change the people" has helped build one of the most revered cultures and proudest legacies of any team in history. Join us as we get inside Gilbert's head and talk all things 'dickheads', toxic culture (in any team environment), and the tools and tactics that the All Blacks use to reframe pressure, manage expectations, and build resilience to come back and win back to back Rugby World Cup Titles. Oh and we also find out just how bad the man cold really is (or isn't) when it hits the All Blacks camp...
