My Notes on Leadership and Life

Heyneke Meyer

Hardcover 

A good rugby read about Meyers thoughts on leadership within the scope of his experience as a top level rugby coach.

This book is not about me. This book is about people realising their own potential. It is about giving hope. The seven universal principles of leadership and life that I have been fortunate enough to experience along my own journey are born from successes and failures. Life happens between these two poles.

Heyneke Meyer was in grade 12 when he told a teacher that he would one day become the Springbok head coach. Rather than encouraging the youngster, he was told this was a pipedream.

This discouragement continued at university, but against advice to the contrary, he studied sports management, education, and, just about everything I believed was necessary for me to realise my ultimate goal of coaching my country. When my time came, and it would, I had to be ready.
