The making of a New Zealand coaching great Between the years 2012
and 2019, Sir Steve Hansen oversaw an era of such remarkable
success that it would be almost impossible to repeat. His 15-year
career in the All Blacks coaching team is the heaviest footprint in
rugby history. Of the 210 tests he was involved with, his team lost
just 25 times. Of the 107 tests he served as head coach, Sir Steve
accumulated a record 4 World Rugby Coach of the Year awards and
orchestrated 93 victories - a winning percentage of 87 per cent,
the highest of any All Blacks coach. Steve Hansen: The Legacy
delves into the highs and the lows that earned the New Zealand
rugby knight a place in the pantheon of world rugby coaching
greats. Revealing and perceptive, the book uncovers how Hansen
dealt with the immeasurable pressure of leading the world's most
famous rugby team; the tension created by being re-appointed
specifically to win the Rugby World Cup; how he dealt with
high-profile athletes and an exodus of New Zealand's all-time
greats; the endless tug-of-war between commercialism and high
performance; the increasing influence of referees on the game; the
power battle between the northern and southern hemispheres; the
Achilles heel that contributed to the All Blacks' 2019 Rugby World
Cup loss; and how, during his career, he learnt to understand his
weaknesses and use them to his advantage. Much more than a
biography, in Steve Hansen: The Legacy, award-winning writer Gregor
Paul tells the compelling story of the former policeman from
Mosgiel, his quest for world rugby dominance and his journey to
coaching greatness.
