Brodie Retallick:
Many hear Brodie Retallick and instantly think ‘tall All Black lock’, but of course, as well as an All Black legend, Brodie keeps his life full as a husband and father of two girls! Brodie’s Rugby career is second to none, having been involved as a young North Canterbury boy from Amberley, to being on top of the Rugby World stage as an All Black at the 2015 and 2019 Rugby World Cup!
Within Rugby, Brodie climbed the ranks after shifting North and being a part of the Hawkes Bay Magpies. He then went on to make his Super Rugby debut with the Chiefs and his All Blacks debut in 2012, since then Brodie has grown in the lock position for the almighty All Blacks! During this time Brodie has been a part of the 2015 Rugby World Cup winning team as well as obtaining remarkable personal accolades such as the 2014 World Rugby and New Zealand Player of the Year!
The road definitely hasn’t been easy though with injuries testing his resilience and mental strength, but as we discuss he has always made a positive out of a negative!
Most recently Brodie and his family moved to Japan to enjoy the experience of a lifetime living and playing over in a different country and embracing a different culture, something that Brodie touches on as being a great experience!
We touch on Brodie’s Rugby experience’s but more importantly wellbeing and what Brodie does to help enhance his wellbeing! Things like playing around in classic cars, spending time with his girls, and being down in the Bay next to the ocean, are just some of the things that help him balance his wellbeing!
