Hear from two NZ Warriors Players

A free opportunity for students to hear directly from two current New Zealand Warriors players.

Most young athletes are willing to put in the work. What many don't get is the opportunity to hear directly from athletes who have recently been in their shoes and are now living the dream of playing professional sport.

That's why we're inviting your students, families and staff to a free live online Q&A with New Zealand Warriors players Leka Halasima and Jacob Laban. Although Leka and Jacob play rugby league, the lessons they'll be sharing go far beyond one sport.

One of the things we're most excited about is that they're still early in their NRL careers. Their journey from school and junior sport to the professional game is recent, making their experiences, challenges and advice incredibly relevant to young athletes today—whether they play rugby league, football, netball, basketball, hockey, athletics or any other sport.

This won't be a highlight reel or a motivational talk. It will be an honest conversation about what it really takes to succeed — the habits they've built, the setbacks they've overcome, the pressure they've faced, and the lessons they've learned along the way.

Event Details: Wednesday 5 August
