Description

It's a huge honour to have on the show this week, Melodie Robinson.Mel played for the Black Ferns from 19996 to 2002 winning 2 World Cups and also represented the Black Ferns Sevens.  Not bad for someone that didn't start playing until she started attending Otago University.She lets us in on the story of how her coach in Otago picked the best position for her, to suit her naturally aggressive attitudes.  We hear how she has always been focused on what she wanted and determined to work hard and achieve her goals.She went on to do amazing things in the Black jersey all the while finishing her degree in Physical Education and a Certificate in Journalism, as well as an MBA while working with Sky TV.   Mel is now the General Manager of TVNZ Sports and Events.Her involvement in rugby also includes coaching her sons' team, sitting on the Board of her club College Rifles and the Rugby Foundation as well as being appointed to sit on the Board of Rugby World Cup Limited as an International Rugby Players’ representative.She also shares a few thoughts on how the women's game should be run.A truly inspirational listen!Enjoy.
