Dear Ian Foster/ The All Blacks
I am writing this letter to persuade you that I should have a private training with the All Blacks, I’ve played rippa rugby from age 3-6 years old, when it was time for tackle Rugby, I was really nervous and took 2 years off then I started playing again when I was 8. ever since I have been playing Rugby I've been watching the All Blacks play and have dreamed of having a private training with the All Blacks and meeting them. It would help with my skills and knowledge, I would be very inspired and convinced to work my hardest, I would love to hear their stories and get to know them.
The first reason I should have private training is, It would help improve my skills and knowledge. We could work on my strengths and weaknesses. We could all get advice and show off our skills.
The second reason I should have private training is, I would get very inspired, I feel like I would never let them down hearing all their advice and the challenges they faced and completed. Also they would make me feel like I should keep my head up so I can be as good as them and maybe play for the Black Ferns when I am older.
The third reason is, I would love to meet and hear their stories of Rugby. The pro’s and con’s of being an All Black, What their favourite things are, why they chose to be an All Black and what teams they played for growing up. My favourite player used to be Waisake Naholo because I played on the right wing as well, but now I play halfback and my favourite payer is Aaron Smith, Not only because I play Halfback as well because we are both short and he is one of if not the best player in the team. He is the person I look upto and he plays for the Highlanders as well which is a big bonus, I LOVE the highlanders! Although I have only been to one live proper Rugby game in my whole life and it was a tie against the Bulls it was Waisake Naholo’s last game and my mum didn't even let me go down on the field afterwards to meet the players.
Also this would be the perfect reason for me to persuade mum and dad that I should get an All Black t shirt. I have always supported The All Blacks when we lost the 2019 world cup I almost cried seeing that is the only world cup I have seen you lose since I was born obviously I was too little to watch the other ones. Let's keep it that way so I never have to see you loose EVER AGAIN!
In conclusion I have always been a very big fan of the All Blacks and my parents have always wanted me to play rugby. I really want you to see this letter and take this into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Zavannah.
