What is the main focus of youth development in New Zealand rugby?
Really happy to have on the show now the New Zealand Pathways head coach Kane Durie. Now Kane leads everything from secondary schools all the way up through the under 20s, head coaches the under 20s and works all the way up to working with the NPC coaches, the Super Rugby coaches and the All Blacks coaches on trying to make sure that the pathways work and that young players are set up in every step be ready being professional footballers and even being all blacks understanding what it is to win on and off the field and developing young players so without further ado that was a good old intro kane you're obviously in one of your roles right now over in south africa in port elizabeth a couple of days out from coaching the new zealand under 20s into the rugby championship so
Let's start there, shall we? Thank you for joining the show. What does it look like there for your team? And how are you getting these boys up who probably haven't spent a lot of time together?
Yeah, thanks a lot for having me, gentlemen. Awesome to be finally invited on. We've had a really good time. preparation leading into this campaign we have spent a bit of time together unfortunately we didn't get a game against our Hurricane Hunters but due to the weather however a lot of those boys still came in who could come in and help and tested us too as well so you know We understand the challenge of that, but also really excited about the talent we have in this group and how well they've connected on and off the field. Even ourselves had a really good little Anzac Day service together and then also connecting ourselves back into New Zealand too as well.
You look at obviously, I suppose, the success having won this championship last year and then obviously just falling short in the Junior World Cup. What have you, I suppose, drawn out of that in terms of your, I suppose, your preview before starting this year?
How do coaches balance player skill development and personal growth?
I think what's really evident to us, and sometimes we get caught up on it a little bit, is everybody else's preparation, the length of preparation they've had. What we've shown, particularly over the last two or three years, is what we have been able to do is our culture, our connection has kept us tight and has allowed us to go and find opportunities to win games and then taking those opportunities to as well. So for us, nothing really changes about that. So recognising what everybody else has done We've been in a very similar situation as them regarding that. And just, yeah, just looking forward to it. No excuses, really. Just go and play some footy.
You obviously had a lot of success in your previous role with the Highlanders, you know, bringing together the Southland sort of age-grade talent, the Otago age-grade talent. And I suppose you had a unique ability to sort of bring that all under that sort of Highlanders banner, which isn't always the case in other super environments. I suppose that skill set of bringing multiple stakeholders together will be crucial in this new role as well?
Yeah, absolutely. Like, what I recognise is we've got some great people in New Zealand rugby that we can always lean on and around that too as well. And I know, you know, Dave, Wren speaks really highly, the importance of culture and connection. And I think our Māori, our Pasifika and our European cultures, you know, combined are really, really strong and they've got great stories.
What role do parents play in youth sports success?
And Kahurangi, who guides us, talks about, um, how, um, how the water of the Moana connects us all, you know, and, and recognizing and understanding that. So somehow in some way or form, you know, our people, our great grandfathers, grandmothers, et cetera, you know, they've all somehow navigated the water to get to Aotearoa. You know, that's something we've spoken about too as well. So, um, You know, that's something which I think is really, really important to understand that. And when we have that type of understanding, connection, we start finding out more stories about who we are, what our families represent, stories from them, then I feel like we become a lot more connected to rugby.
