Raised in New Zealand, he began his professional career with Canterbury in the National Provincial Championship, showcasing his exceptional kicking and tactical prowess. Mehrtens made his debut for the All Blacks in 1995, quickly establishing himself as a vital asset to the team.<\/p>\n<p>During his international career, spanning from 1995 to 2004, Mehrtens earned 70 caps for New Zealand, contributing significantly to numerous victories. His partnership with scrum-half Justin Marshall became legendary, forming the backbone of the All Blacks&#8217; attacking strategy. Mehrtens was known for his pinpoint accuracy in goal-kicking, often turning close matches in his team&#8217;s favor with crucial penalties and conversions.<\/p>\n<p>At the Super Rugby level, Mehrtens represented the Canterbury Crusaders, playing a pivotal role in their dominance during the late 1990s and early 2000s, securing several championship titles.<\/p>\n<p>Off the field, Mehrtens&#8217;s intelligence and leadership were evident, making him a respected figure both within the sport and beyond. Post-retirement, he remained active in rugby as a commentator and coach, continuing to inspire the next generation of players with his expertise and passion for the game.<\/p>\n<p>He would eventually move away from the world of professional rugby, turning his sights on the financial sector.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Andrew draws on his experiences in international rugby with the All Blacks to deliver a range of presentations and keynotes. He is comfortable conducting Q&amp;A sessions, light-hearted speeches involving entertaining anecdotes and memories, as well as more serious discourses covering subjects such as teamwork and communication, leadership, and group culture.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  \n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section id=\"foldouts-block_50e8de10956063e4b18f66192e0acbe7\" class=\"block-foldouts space-y-4 my-10 \" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"foldouts-block_50e8de10956063e4b18f66192e0acbe7-heading\">\n  \n  <h2 id=\"foldouts-block_50e8de10956063e4b18f66192e0acbe7-heading\" class=\"typo-h4\">\n    Keynotes and Conferences with Andrew Mehrtens  <\/h2>\n\n\n      <div class=\"space-y-4\" role=\"group\" aria-labelledby=\"foldouts-block_50e8de10956063e4b18f66192e0acbe7-heading\">\n                          \n      <details class=\"border rounded-lg bg-grey-light foldout group\">\n\n        <summary class=\"flex items-center px-3 py-3 rounded-lg cursor-pointer select-none gap-x-3 group-open:border-b group-open:rounded-none border-grey-disabled bg-green-light group-open:bg-transparent group-open:text-black text-green-dark group-open:hover:text-green-dark hover:bg-green-strong group-open:hover:bg-green-strong\" id=\"foldouts-block_50e8de10956063e4b18f66192e0acbe7-title-1\" aria-controls=\"foldouts-block_50e8de10956063e4b18f66192e0acbe7-content-1\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n          <div class=\"group-open:hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M10.85 19.15V13.15H4.85001V10.85H10.85V4.85001H13.15V10.85H19.15V13.15H13.15V19.15H10.85Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n          <div class=\"hidden group-open:block\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M4.85001 13.15V10.85H19.15V13.15H4.85001Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n          <h3 class=\"typo-btn-lg\">\n            Lessons from a Career in International Rugby          <\/h3>\n        <\/summary>\n\n        <div id=\"foldouts-block_50e8de10956063e4b18f66192e0acbe7-content-1\" aria-labelledby=\"foldouts-block_50e8de10956063e4b18f66192e0acbe7-title-1\" role=\"region\">\n          <div class=\"relative mx-8 my-5\">\n                          \n                                  <div class=\"foldout__text block-text__body\">\n                    <p>How in high-performance professional sport we managed the ups and downs of weekly success\/failure, the pressure of attention and expectation, and the interpersonal relationships that are key to the collective effort.<\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                \n              \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n      <\/details>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n  \n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Mehrtens: world-renowned rugby player for the All Blacks &amp;
