Given the rising cost of living in New Zealand, particularly in Auckland, many families are experiencing financial strain, whether you are paying a mortgage or renting. Richie Leith Aholelei, in his conversation with Te Whatu Ora, the discussion around the reality of poor health choices and the effects of affordability for our families to be able to access healthy foods.

The affordability issues that we now face forces our families to opt for lower-quality food options that fit their budget at the time. The challenges we face such as financial literacy, health, and nutrition choices will be a ongoing issue, but if we don't acknowledge and we recognise these issues and explore avenues for improved education and support to strive for longer and healthier lives and shift away from consistently negative outcomes reflected in our statistics and data.

Engaging in demanding sports like bodybuilding requires immense dedication and hard work. While we often hear about the positive effects of weight loss challenges and regular exercise, it's essential we understand the impact it has on our loved ones. Sometimes, when we become fixated on achieving our goals, we may unintentionally overlook how our pursuits affect those close to us. From waking up early in the morning to squeezing in late-night training sessions, and even experiencing mood swings due to dietary changes, the journey can be challenging.

In this Talanoa snippet with Richie Leith Aholelei we gain insights into his personal experience with bodybuilding. He highlights the physical and mental challenges that come with a sport that places great importance on appearance, emphasising its demanding and critical nature. This clip reminds us to appreciate the support and understanding of our loved ones as we strive to excel in our chosen athletic endeavors.

"Family, forever for always no matter what!.🥰❤️

After finally settling back this week into the reality of family work and coaching life, I have had the time to reflect on our Tangaroa College 1st XV Tour and the amazing support from all our hosts, the Pastoral team as well family, which we thoroughly enjoyed with both the Coaches and Teachers and more importantly our young men. This tour provided an opportunity for the players to develop their character and leadership skills, so many highlights to mention but the visit to Melbourne Storm Rugby League and seeing the facilities and listening to how a team that is renowned for their strong values of family, accountability, hard work, respect, and passion gave the Tangaroa players first-hand look into how these values have helped build a successful team culture, both on and off the field.
This tour is sure to create lifelong friendships and provide an unforgettable experience for the Tangaroa players which was the whole intention of the tour, rugby was the vehicle of opportunity to show these young men there is a lot that goes on outside of Otara.

We look forward to the season with newfound confidence and determination as well as taking on board the important values of integrity, accountability, and honour, setting them up for success not just in rugby, but in all aspects of life. Well done to all sponsors involved which couldn’t have been possible without you all, love to make this a reality for other young men to experience in the future, so let’s talk!
