Course reviews
Ed Sherwood Great Britain & Northern IrelandSuch a great set of videos – especially on tackling confidence and dealing with big groups – thanks so much!
Simon Fruen EnglandEye opening – difference in the UK to Aus training method (or is it the school?) No wonder the Aus seems more advanced at school level. Summary ‘be hard to beat, drives excellence and a safer result’. love the bus analogy! Kids involved in training feedback improves player to player motivation, nothing like peer pressure!
Ronnie Mata Taurarii USASean is able to simplify the game to it bare basics and then micro-skill the guts out of it so caters to all learning styles and needs of both players and coaches! How choice is that! Legend!
Viorel Popescu ItalyVery good session! Congratulations!
