Ivan Cleary is the most successful sports coach in Australia.
A former Warriors coach, Cleary has led the Penrith Panthers to victory, claiming the NRL Grand Final four times in a row.
He’s now co-authored a book all about leadership and success, detailing, as Cleary puts it, what he’s learned and how he leads.
‘Not Everything Counts but Everything Matters’ reflects on the decades he’s spent on both sides of the game, as both a player and a coach, his mental health, and the time he spent coaching the Warriors.
He told Mike Hosking that he’s enjoying every minute of the NRL success.
“I was a head coach for 14 seasons, and also played for 11, so that’s 25 years of being in the NRL before I experienced winning a premiership.”
“It’s been a long time coming.”
