SHORTLISTED FOR INTERNATIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR AT THE 2020
TELEGRAPH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS. As Kieran Read calls time on his
distinguished New Zealand career at the end of the Rugby World Cup,
this is the open and honest life story of one of rugby's greatest
players, a legendary All Black and a two-time World Cup winner.
Kieran Read first played for the All Blacks as a 23-year-old in
2008 and since then has amassed more than a century of Test
appearances in the famous jersey. Now, after a stellar provincial,
club and international career - including back-to-back World Cup
victories - the New Zealand captain writes openly and honestly
about his time in the game. Read takes to these pages with his
trademark determination, lifting the lid on the unique pressures of
succeeding as captain the most celebrated All Black of all time
(Richie McCaw). He outlines the decisions that molded his career
and uncovers the skills of the coaches who shaped him, while
offering readers an inside account of how the world's greatest team
functions and thrives. Read unpacks the emotional toll of injury
and the ignominy of defeat, neatly illustrating the intense
experience of representing a rugby-obsessed nation while delivering
a masterclass in how to manage the many demands on the mind and on
the body. Forthright and frank, Read's well-respected views on the
game and its future are a must-read for rugby fans, and his take on
the myriad personalities and the peccadilloes of his team-mates,
coaches and opponents will be sure to surprise and delight. From
the playing fields of Papakura to the summit of the sport, Read has
faced every challenge head on. His life story if no exception.
