Head On

All Black number 1000, once the most highly prized player in world rugby and a giant of the game in every sense - someone who was always respected, even feared. But at the end of 17 years as a professional rugby player, the last eight played with the aim of setting up his family's future, Hayman's life began to unravel.

In Head On, Carl Hayman relives a remarkable rugby career: living out his boyhood dreams and fast-tracked into the All Blacks at 21, playing in a world cup and then moving to Europe where he became one of the best-paid players on the planet.

But this audiobook is also about the pressures on the modern athlete, where physical performance and commerce collide and players become victims of their own success. Head On is a compelling listen and an essential audiobook for our times.
