17. Leading the discussion about a better High Performance System
18. Is your current High Performance System achieving its objectives?: • Is your top team winning championships? • Are you promoting the right players needed for sustained success?
19. We have the solution... Mi Sport Plan Performance Management System
21.     ...takes its inspiration from the system developed to ensure the continuing success of New Zealand rugby, including the All Blacks victory in the 2011 Rugby World Cup. have created a successful framework for maximising team & individual performance.
24. • Population of New Zealand is 4 million... located ‘way down under’ • The All Blacks is NZ’s only true global brand • One of the Top 10 sporting brands in the world • Integral to the country’s national pride, confidence, culture and identity • Including business confidence and the economy • All Blacks carry ‘the weight of the nation’ every time • 140,000 rugby players…only 5th largest in the world
26. • In over a hundred years of rugby, the All Blacks hold an 84% winning record against all opposition played. • They have also won 74% of all test matches played, and hold a winning record against every test nation • Graham Henry achieved an All Blacks record of 88 wins in 103 Tests in his 8 years i.e. 85% winning record • This is the best winning record of any professional sports team ever • …but winning rugby’s pinnacle event, the Rugby World Cup, eluded the All Blacks for 24 years
27. • All Blacks won the first RWC in 1987 on talent, fitness and strong player base • Since then talent and fitness not enough to win RWC’s, even though consistently been No. 1 ranked team • Player base has been eroded since professionalism in 1996 • Average age of NZ Super 14 teams in 2009 was 24 • NZRU HP and All Black Management recognised in 2007 that to win RWC’s the All Blacks needed to become much better in three key areas • Tactical, Mental and Leadership
28. • Reappointment of All Black Coaches after 2007 RWC failure – first time ever, critical success factor, learnt from mistakes • Built an integrated High Performance Development System to meet the All Blacks needs and benefit other layers of the game • System had to connect and align 26 organisations (14 PU, 5 SR, 7 NT) • 2011 RWC final and 2011 U20 World Cup final were great examples of success through tactical, mental and leadership application ** • Integration between All Blacks and Super Rugby Teams in 2010-2011 was critical for 2011 RWC success • Integration from Under 17 to All Blacks in 2007-2011 was critical for 2015 and 2019 RWC’s ***
31. • Based on players’ individual needs across six attributes • Guided at the start but ultimately THEIR plan • One plan per player per year • Individuals need to become self driven • Regular checkpoints to build their plan initially, track progress and refine (Coach and/or Support Staff)
