Graham Henry on Education

Teaching students is ''way more important'' than being coach of the All Blacks, Graham Henry says.

I know that. You know that. But isn’t it great to be having the importance of teaching highlighted in a positive way.

"...Henry says he was also a keen advocate of athletes pursuing an academic career, which was an important way of finding the right on and off the field balance..."

It also nice to know that when the boots are hung up then there is a life beyond the field. I know most of us never get to play at a high level but even so. A sporting career really only lasts a fleeting few years at best and then ‘normal life’ has to kick in.

For the vast majority of those 'dreaming of being an All Black' it remains just that, a dream. ‘Normal life’ is what we work towards from the beginning.

With a solid education behind each of us we have the opportunity of greatness in own field of expertise.

Solid careers are built on positive role models and sound education.
