In the first in the series of our winter webinars, Farmstrong Chairman John Scott welcomes Sam Whitelock, farmer and New Zealand rugby player.
As well as giving some insights to his impressive rugby career, Sam also gives an open and honest account of life on the farm and in particular the challenges the family faced when they suffered an outbreak of Salmonella.
He speaks about how this affected both their business and wellbeing, and how it led to him getting involved in Farmstrong in New Zealand. Sam gives some interesting and useful advice on the wellbeing steps he integrated to manage the high pressure of leading the New Zealand rugby team, managing sport and the farm, and the importance of taking time to appreciate what you have around you.
There were some great questions, so be sure to listen to the end and you can hear who Sam names as the toughest rugby opponent he’s played against!
