Champions Do Extra is a transformational new book about mindset, from rugby and league icon Brad Thorn.
Brad Thorn’s career rewrote the rules of what an athlete can achieve.
From his country upbringing on the frosty fields of Otago in New Zealand to the baked turf of Queensland in Australia, Brad Thorn reveals the powerful lessons he learned in his relentless pursuit of excellence, inspiring readers to unlock their own potential.
In a remarkable 30-year career, spanning 477 games of professional footy across two codes, the dual international played for some of the highest performing teams on the planet: the All Blacks, Kangaroos, Queensland Maroons, Brisbane Broncos and Canterbury Crusaders. He was still playing professionally at the age of 41.
Brad Thorn’s trophy cabinet includes a Rugby World Cup, four Rugby League NRL premiership titles, two State of Origins series, one Super Rugby title, five Bledisloe Cups, three Tri Nations titles, two NPC titles, the Ranfurly Shield, and a European Rugby Champions Cup.
Thorn credits his achievements and longevity to the lessons in this book, and, above all, the credo his father taught him ‘champions do extra’.
Champions Do Extra is an inspirational story about what family, faith and footy can teach us about how to succeed.
