​​Hi Todd, Ged and Ryan here.

We're the Co-Founders of BetterMan, a men's mental health and wellbeing charity. Some of you might have stopped reading after the mental health bit, but hear us out...

We believe in a health by stealth approach, that simply getting guys together, having a laugh and a bit of light-hearted competition is men's mental health.

Here's a bit more about us:

Founded in July 2023, BetterMan is the brainchild of former athletes’ Ged Robinson (rugby for the Crusaders, Highlanders, Hurricanes, Rebels), Todd Astle (cricket for Canterbury, Black Caps) and Todd’s brother Ryan Astle (football for the under-7 Hokowhitu Zodiacs).

Coming from sporting backgrounds, we’ve been coached by some of the best (Dave Rennie, Gary Stead, and Daniel Hamlin's Mum to name a few) how to become better athletes, but so much of this knowledge is transferable in helping others become better versions of themselves. Our approach is to take the best parts of team sport, combine this with positive psychology principles and host events that get people having a bunch of fun.

Our signature Quiz and Some Other Shizz event has seen us pack out each venue we've delivered at in both Christchurch and Auckland. Our last edition was held at Eden Park and featured Steve and Seamus from Between Two Beers.

Anyway, if you're keen for this quiz brought to you by BetterMan in conjunction with North Canterbury Rural Support Trust and Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust, please register below (note this is open to men and women - in fact women give us the best feedback. And that's only partly because men are sh!t at it).

You don't need to have a full team of six – individuals and smaller groups are welcome, and we'll match teams together on the night.
