Kieran Read a joué pour la première fois pour les All Blacks à l'âge de 23 ans en 2008 et depuis lors, a accumulé plus d'un siècle d'apparitions de test dans le célèbre maillot. Maintenant, après une brillante carrière provinciale, club et internationale - y compris des victoires consécutives en Coupe du monde - le capitaine néo-zélandais écrit ouvertement et honnêtement sur son temps dans le jeu. Lisez ces pages avec sa détermination de marque, soulevant le couvercle sur les pressions uniques de réussir en tant que capitaine le plus célèbre All Black de tous les temps. Il décrit les décisions qui ont façonné sa carrière et découvre les compétences des entraîneurs qui l'ont façonné, tout en offrant aux lecteurs un compte rendu interne de la façon dont la plus grande équipe du monde fonctionne et prospère. Un joueur de rugby ne peut pas atteindre le sommet du sport sans négocier les nombreuses avenues d'adversité sur la feuille de route pour triompher. Read déballe le bilan émotionnel des blessures et l'ignominie de la défaite, illustrant soigneusement l'expérience intense de représenter une nation obsédée par le rugby tout en offrant une classe de maître sur la façon de gérer les nombreuses exigences sur l'esprit et sur le corps. Franchement et franc, les vues respectées de Read sur le jeu et son avenir sont une lecture incontournable pour les fans de rugby, et son interprétation de la myriade de personnalités et les peccadilloes de ses coéquipiers, entraîneurs et adversaires ne manqueront pas de surprendre et de ravir. Des terrains de jeu de Papakura au podium des champions du monde, Read a fait face à tous les défis. Son histoire de vie ne fait pas exception.
