Andrew Webster (aka Webby) is the coach of the One.NZ Warriors.This podcast first came out in January 2024. I thought I’d reshare it in case you missed it because the Warriors, under Andrew Webster, have just completed their best season in 15 years. Since arriving at Mount Smart to coach the Warriors three years ago, this guy has given fans plenty to get excited about. But I wanted to find out who he is away from the game.We talk about his wife Emily, becoming a dad, and the years he spent doing whatever work he could to keep chasing a coaching career. Webby explains why he left Ivan Clary and the Penrith Panthers to coach the Warriors and what he learnt from Ivan, why he’s comfortable telling his players he loves them, the up the Wahs movement which started during his tenure, how long he plans to stay in New Zealand, his reason for making the players walk past his office every day and much more.This podcast is a pretty good insight into the mind of one of rugby leagues truly great coaches. And beyond sport, just a very nice bloke Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
