According to Spiro Zavos, Tietjens is "The greatest of all the Sevens coaches". As of his induction, he had coached the All Blacks Sevens to 10 series titles in the IRB Sevens World Series, the Rugby World Cup Sevens crown in 2001, and gold medals in four of the five Commonwealth Games in which the sport had been contested, losing the 2014 final in Glasgow.〔 He has also added two more IRB Sevens series titles (2013 and 2014), and a second Rugby World Cup Sevens crown (also in 2013). Tietjens has coached many young players who have gone on to become All Blacks, including Christian Cullen, Jonah Lomu, Joe Rokocoko, Mils Muliaina, Rico Gear, Cory Jane, Ben Smith, and Liam Messam.〔(Lomu and Cullen requested for sevens duty ) Scrum.com news, 6 December 1999〕 As of June 2010 Tietjens has coached 36 players who have gone on to become All Blacks in the 15-a-side game. Tietjens is currently assisted by Eric Rush, a former long-serving captain of the New Zealand Sevens team and a former Sevens star himself. In 2012, his contract as the NZ Sevens coach was extended through to 2016.〔http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/6693267/Tietjens-to-coach-NZ-sevens-at-Rio-Olympics〕 This allows Tietjens to be part of Sevens rugby's first inclusion in the Olympic Games. In the New Year Honours 1999, Tietjens was appointed a Member of The New Zealand Order of Merit,〔"New Year Honours 1999" (22 January 1999) 5 ''New Zealand Gazette'' 139.〕 in the New Year Honours 2007, he was elevated to Companion of the same order, and in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2013, Tietjens was further promoted to a Knight Companion of The New Zealand Order of Merit〔("The Queen's Birthday Honours 2013" ) (24 June 2013) 80 ''New Zealand Gazette'' 2171.〕 ==Achievements== * Playing honours: New Zealand Barbarians * Member of the first national New Zealand Hong Kong Sevens Team (1983) * New Zealand Sevens Head Coach (1994-Present) * IRB Sevens World Series Champions (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014) * Rugby World Cup Sevens Champions (2001 & 2013) * Commonwealth Games Rugby Sevens Gold Medalist (1998, 2002, 2006 & 2010) * NPC Coach of the Year in (2000 for Bay of Plenty)〔 * NZRU Coach of the Year (2010)〔()〕 * IRB Hall of Fame Member * Knight Companion of The New Zealand Order of Merit 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gordon Tietjens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
