All On Green - Episode 1

All On Green is live on both YouTube + Spotify now! Episode 1 began with Bobbie Hira, a Canterbury Kī-o-Rahi star, who reflects on her journey in the world of Māori sports and leadership.

From starting a Canterbury Kī-o-Rahi club from 0 - 60 players Bobbie shares her insights of teamwork, communication and the power of persistence. She makes it clear her vision for long-term investment in the sport, and the importance of leadership in a Māori context and her passion for creating opportunities for all regardless of ethnicity within the sport.

She includes her involvement in conversations around Māori representation in Parliament. With a goal of seeing a Māori Prime Minister one day, Bobbie hopes to inspire the next generation of Māori leaders in both sport and governance. Whether you're a player, a coach, or just a fan of Kī-o-Rahi, this conversation provides valuable lessons in leadership, resilience, and growing a community from the ground up. If you want to get involved in Kī-o-Rahi head to Hoon Hay 6 PM Tuesday nights or head to their socials for more information. Kī-o-Rahi socials: @waihorakiorahi @kiorahi_ki_waitaha
