Movember: In The Barber Chair

Richie McCaw

Richie McCaw, captain of the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team shares with Movember Radio how seemingly bulletproof men aren’t immune to the physical and mental struggles life throws everyone’s way and the role mates play in keeping you grounded. Richie details the pressures and expectations of captaining the current Rugby World Cup champions as well as how he builds in ways of managing the stress of such a role. Richie got involved with the Movember Foundation to help spread word that it’s ok for men to talk about what’s going on and it’s also important to check in with friends to see how they’re doing.
