About this listen

'For 14 years I was judged on 80 minutes of my life, once a week. That's it . . . it's how I judged myself. Eighty damn minutes of footy. It is ridiculous how much that can impact on your life, and even more ridiculous to think how long it can take to put that in perspective.'

Shaun Johnson burst onto the NRL stage with a bang - his mix of speed and skills and side steps dazzled fans and experts alike as the New Zealand Warriors reached the Grand Final in his debut season. Over the years that followed, he racked up 268 NRL appearances and represented the Kiwis 35 times in a career stacked with extraordinary moments. But behind the highlights and headlines lies a story of family, perseverance and the inner search for absolute clarity.

Join Shaun as he recounts his early life, dealing with stardom and expectations at a young age. You'll step onto the field to re-live epic plays through his eyes, and discover the circumstances that led to his departure from the Warriors and then his return to Mt Smart, which culminated in Shaun being awarded the Dally M Halfback of the Year in 2023. Perspective is a fascinating look into the heart and mind of a rugby league legend.

Shaun’s story carries lots of important lessons, most of which he understood in hindsight. Great insight into a players mind during a game, and also the behind the scenes Rugby League world. An open and honest account of his life, with his cheeky charm persona. I really enjoyed it as a non NZealander and non Warriors supporter. A great listen from a truly great person. Well done Shaun!
