Tackle issues facing your industry with Graham Henry Graham Henry, Coach, All Blacks, has an enviable coaching record.  He was in charge of the hugely successful Auckland team, which won four NPC titles in succession, and the Auckland Blues Super 12 team, which was the competition winner in 1996 and 1997 and runner-up in 1998. When he was coach of the Welsh national rugby team of 1999, it equalled the record of 10 successive wins, set at the start of the 20th Century. On his return to New Zealand, Graham joined Auckland as defensive co-ordinator and technical analyst. The effect was immediate with Auckland lifting the 2002 National Provincial Championship, a feat that resulted in the Blues, starved of success since Graham left for Wales, quickly tying him up for the 2003 Super 12 – which the Blues went on to win. Graham is going to share some of the secrets of his success that can be used to consistently achieve high performance levels, click here to find out more
