Ten Slotte deur Eben Etzebeth

In hierdie episode van Pagecast gesels Bouwer Bosch met Springbok rugbyspeler Eben Etzebeth oor sy outobiografie, Ten Slotte. 

Eben Etzebeth is die speler wat al die meeste toetswedstryde in
Suid-Afrikaanse rugbygeskiedenis gespeel het. Op die veld word
hierdie slot se intelligensie, energie en aggressie gerespekteer en
bewonder.

Hy is lid van die senior Springbok-leierskapspan, en speel ’n groot rol
in ’n ongelooflik suksesvolle era wat twee agtereenvolgende
Wêreldbekers en die groep se huidige posisie van twee jaar boaan
die wêreldranglys insluit.

In hierdie eerlike en onderhoudende vertelling beskryf Eben van die
vernaamste faktore van sy sukses, en hoe hy gefokus bly – op en van
die veld af. Van sy nederige kinderjare in Goodwood – ’n voorstad
van Kaapstad waar niks maklik kom nie – regdeur sy vroeë
klubloopbaan, tot by sy swaar verdiende plek in die Suid-Afrikaanse
nasionale span, vertel Ten Slotte die persoonlike kant van sy
loopbaan, en wat dit geverg het om ’n wêreldkampioen te word.
