We are so grateful to connect with Sophie and look forward to having her on board! 🌟

A great step towards supporting diversity in New Zealand sport governance!

A great outcome from AUT research! 💪🏼🏉

The appointment follows a study, by AUT sport management researchers (Professor Lesley Ferkins, Gaye Bryham, and Katie Dee) in partnership with New Zealand Rugby and Auckland Rugby, addressing a disparity between numbers of Pacific rugby players and those in non-playing roles in Auckland rugby. This includes coaching, administration, refereeing, governance and leadership.⁠

Practice loving success, yet not at the expense of others, but as a tool to assist others. Lastly, practice loving to win, yet not winning at any cost, but winning that costs others nothing, and even brings them gain as well."
