Press Release: nib New Zealand
scoop.co.nznib New Zealand (nib) has teamed up with The Blues (Super Rugby), Newcastle Knights (NRL) and Richmond Tigers (AFL) to launch its new Work to Wellbeing content series.
The series, designed to help Kiwis look after their health, resilience and wellbeing while continuing to stay at home under Level 3 restrictions, marks the first time nib has brought together its sponsorships across the three football codes, for fans on both sides of the Tasman.
Work to Wellbeing will launch next Tuesday 28th April with a special Facebook Live Team Talk Q&A, hosted by Paul ‘The Chief’ Harragon, and featuring head coaches Leon MacDonald (Blues), Adam O’Brien (Knights) and Damien Hardwick (Tigers).
With the conversation centred on wellbeing, the trio will be sharing and discussing proven strategies for supporting resilience and positive mental health among their players – including tips for viewers at home.
Fans are invited to
head online and submit questions in advance, for the chance to have them answered on the night.
nib New Zealand Chief Executive, Rob Hennin, says, “For the vast majority of us, COVID-19 has completely changed the way we’re currently going about our lives. We’re each having to bring a different approach to the way we take care of our minds and bodies, during what continues to be a really stressful time for many."
“We’re committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of families around New Zealand. That’s why we wanted to work with our partners to tap into their incredible knowledge and expertise to create this series and offer simple and easy tips which we hope will be of value during these uncertain times,” Mr Hennin said.
Richmond Tigers Senior Coach, Damien Hardwick, says, “As a football club and organisation we’ve had to find new ways to connect with our players and our people, and continue to deliver high-quality training and wellbeing programs.”
“It’s been a challenge, and we’ve already learnt a lot from the experience. I’m looking forward to sharing some of those insights with the broader community through this opportunity with nib, and hearing from two experienced coaches in Adam and Leon,” Damien added.
The Facebook Live Q&A will take place at 7:30PM NZT (9:30PM AEST) on Tuesday 28 April on the
nib New Zealand Facebook page.
