Sir Graham Henry's transformation from rugby coach to coach of the coaches is continuing apace with news he will work with some of the country's leading high performance coaches ahead of this year's London Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Rugby World Cup-winning coach recently penned a deal to mentor top rugby coaches in this country and has now signed a two-year deal with High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) to work on a part-time basis.
His first assignment is with the Yachting New Zealand Olympic coaches later this month.
"Sir Graham has 40 years' experience in coaching and he knows what it takes to lead players and support staff to be the best in the world," HPSNZ chief executive Alex Baumann said.
"He will work with a range of coaches, of both teams and individuals, to help them become effective leaders of their programmes and people, increasing their chance of achieving sustained success."
