Graham Henry on Being a World Class Coach Posted about 12 years ago

Sir Graham Henry talks about the importance of a coach’s approach, a professional environment and the expectation of excellence…

On expectation:

“If the coach hasn’t got that expectation of high quality, you’re never going to get that from the players you coach”

On the playing environment:

“Every time they meet, there’s an environment that is stimulating, that they enjoy, which is going to develop them as individuals and players.”

On The Rugby Site:

“I’ve got a love of the game, I think there’s great people involved and to spread the word about the game globally is very stimulating.”
