If I didn't perform… I'm gone.
Norm Maxwell, Crusader #21, is not your ordinary rugby player. At 1.98m tall but weighing just 90kg, the lock quickly gained a reputation for being an extremely physical player. Having struggled physically and mentally with the demands of early professional rugby, Norm now works to add wellbeing back into performance. Norm is a former All Black and was the fourth ever inductee to the Crusaders Hall of Fame.
In this episode, Norm talks about:
What sport can mean for people who feel broken
Why he felt let down by professional rugby
How he defines wellbeing and what it means to live a meaningful life
