Next stop...Wellington NZ

Well I always say if you want to learn something then learn it from the best and I am going to do just that!!  A big THANKS to Ben Franks for setting it all up for me and to Genna for putting up with me for 2 weeks!!  

On Sunday I am heading to Wellington, New Zealand to spend 10 days with the Hurricanes of of the Super 15 Rugby League. I'll be doing a lot of watching and learning and maybe even a little teaching!! I'm excited to have the opportunity of learning from Head Coach Mark "Hammer" Hammett, Scrum Coach Dan Cron and Strength and Conditioning Coach David Grey. What a blessing to be able to learn from the best as I work on my presentation roughly titled "Strength, Power and Fitness Training for Rugby Forwards" as well as increase my own coaching knowledge.  

I picked up something (actually I've learned a lot) from Al Vermiel of the Chicago Bulls, he said that he would spend equal or more money on learning than on equipment.

Stayed tuned right here for updates on the trip!!

Kia Kaha-Be Strong
