Graham Henry congratulates Richie McCaw on
becoming the most successful captain in All Blacks
history. Then he tells the team there’s work to be
done. A lot of work to be done. Muliaina reminds
the players to remember the sacrifices they have
made to be in this room.
Finally, he proposes a toast to McCaw. ‘To Skip!’ he
says. ‘To Skip,’ the room replies. ‘Well done, guys,’
he says. ‘Let’s go.’ ˜
This is when something happens
that you might not expect.
Two of the senior players – one an
international player of the year, twice – each
pick up a long-handled broom and begin to
sweep the sheds. They brush the mud and
the gauze into small piles in the corner.
While the country is still watching replays
and schoolkids lie in bed dreaming of All
Blacks’ glory, the All Blacks themselves are
tidying up after themselves. Sweeping the
sheds. Doing it properly. So no one else has
to. Because no one looks after the All Blacks.
The All Blacks look after themselves."
“We are on autopilot in our cars, going
through the motions, making the
snacks, being on the committees,
arguing with teachers, principals,
coaches, and referees, serving as our
kids ‘concierge, personal assistant,
and secretary, fearing our spouse’s
expectations, vaguely wondering
when we’ll get off the side-lines of
sports practice and start living our
own vibrant life again. Our morning
medication is caffeine. Our evening
medication is wine.
When parents laugh and enjoy the moment but also teach the
satisfaction of hard work, when they listen closely but also give their
children space to become who they are, they wind up with kids who
know how to work hard, solve problems and savour the moment,
too. In other words, get a life, and your child just might do the same
someday”
