Beaudy: Skills, Drills, and the Path to the Top

Description

Beaudy – Skills, Drills and the Path to the Top is an aspirational read for fans young and old.

Beauden Barrett gives an insight into what has made him the player he is, the setbacks he had along the way and the choices he had to make. From his upbringing with seven siblings in rural New Zealand, experiences in Ireland as a child, to his rise through the rugby ranks with Taranaki and the Hurricanes.

One big decision as an 18-year old changed the course of his career. Instead of being lost to New Zealand rugby entirely, a call set Beauden on the path towards being an All Black. Now widely seen as one of the best players, he could have been an AFL star in Australia.

Beauden may have gone from high school to the All Blacks in three years, but the path was far from smooth.
Packed with tips and skills, Beaudy – Skills, Drills and the Path to the Top helps young players progress their game. Beauden offers advice on how to become a better player off the field. He also says how he learned to adapt to life as a professional sportsman at such a young age and who helped him along the way.
