The life of a head coach can be as brutal at times and it's fair to say that Rob Penney has been on the receiving end of his fair share of public criticism. However, what I am excited to share with you in this episode is just what a champion man he is. From playing 100 games for Canterbury as a tough loose forward to becoming a Head Coach who has coached all around the world, the Rob Penney journey is a fascinating one! Some parts that stood out were... Firstly hearing his thoughts on the Crusaders 2024 season and expectations for 2025 What he remembers about the infamous name calling of the reporter Growing up in Canterbury dreaming of playing for them and then achieving that dream. Hearing how hard it was for a young guy coming into those environments back then How he made his transition into coaching Hearing all about coaching Canterbury, NZ u20s, Munster, the Waratahs, Shining Arcs. His recall on the Simon Zebo phone call with the Lions How his high optimism has got his through the tough times of head coaching And heaps more. As you'll hear Rob Penney has so much wisdom, he has had so many highs and lows in the game so was able to share plenty of gold advice from his experiences.
