Co-hosts Wez Parkes and Dan Griff (Utah) discuss the role and vital importance of how the values of rugby can positively impact a Students education and how connected a rugby players career is to a professional one.
NARA is not just a rugby Academy, it's designed to help middle, high school and collegiate level rugby athletes and coaches live a purposeful life.
Through the shared stories of invited guests the NARA Rugby Podcast and platform intends to positively reinforce how impactful rugby can be for creating transformative educational, relational, travel and professional development, networking and career opportunities.
Two-time IRANZ course graduate, Dan, a former D1 Mens rugby athlete with the Chicago Griffins, is a finance and banking professional who encourages those he coaches to work hard in school, keep up their grades, and to plan for a college education and a successful life outside of rugby.
Most recently, Dan has coached the Raptors rugby program out of Nashville, Tennessee. When not involved with rugby, he enjoys spending time in the outdoors and mountains of Utah.
