Aaron Webb on the Artistry of People Development
On the Show today I'm speaking with the man behind the Crusaders Rugby Academy, Aaron Webb. The programme operates in line with the New Zealand Rugby Union's six pillars of development - technical, tactical, physical, nutrition, mental skills and holistic life skills. Aaron shares how he goes about his work with a clear focus on developing young men with the skills to reach their goals in professional rugby and grow into excellent community citizens.
This is a conversation about the artistry of people development.

Customer Reviews
Best podcast for youth athletic development
I have pretty much listened to the whole back catalogue of this podcast and can genuinely say that Craig’s conversations with thought leaders and practitioners is absolutely stunning. His ability to guide and be guided by guests allows listeners to engage in the ponderings and ask their own questions or solve their problems. As his style has changed from the early episodes he has broadened what areas of interest the guest finds important but is also able to extract what started their passion without it being to overt. If my family was in the North Shore I would have no problems engaging my young children in his programmes and be assured that their long term development needs were being met. Kia kaha, Kia Maia, Kia Manawanui...Keep it up Craig!
