Listen "Author Spotlight: Carl Hayman"
Episode Synopsis
What does it mean to be a modern All Black, expected to perform at a mental and physical peak when player body mass has increased by 30% since the 1960s and new research is showing the horrifying impact of head injuries on rugby player brains? All Black 1000, Carl Hayman, wrote Head On after discovering his injuries had led to early-onset dementia. He joined his co-author Dylan Cleaver to talk about the new realities of the sport we love.This episode was recorded at the 2024 Featherston Booktown Karukatea Festival.https://www.booktown.org.nz/
