Course reviews
Scott Terrell USAGreat series, implementing in tonight’s practice.
Lamataimi 'Alofi New ZealandThis is helpful to upgrade the coaching skills of our rugby coaches. Thank you very much.
Richard Birkett EnglandThis is great but could encourage tackling high and not making any effort to bend at the hips. Head on head is a major issue at the moment… Could the bags be kept lower to encourage a lower tackle height?
Kas Kafoa AustraliaNice Ben, simple and easy to understand. Great presentation.
RugbyQuébec CanadaWell done Ben ! Hope you are well. François
John G Canada“Instant feedback” for proper tackling contact is difficult to coach as players are usually tackling teammates and will naturally hold back, if even a tiny bit, leading to gameday mistakes. These activities are great for providing that feedback.
Steve Botha South AfricaLike the way they throw the bags to make it more realistic
Bonni May NetherlandsAbsolutly great
SETAREKI T NAIVALUWAQA JapanHi Ben very clear and concise especially for players to understand what to communicate about individual role on DF set up and running line to be effective as a group
Brendan Molloy New ZealandHi Ben in session 3 tackler was leading with inside leg, attacker seemed to beat him more easily to the outside should tackler lead with outside leg to emphasize the rush alignment
Aaron Callaghan New ZealandThanks Ben much appreciated. Awesome coaching process and comms.
Pierre Bleriot EnglandGreat session, maximum learning for players with clear concise comms.
Agustin Delle Donne New ZealandBen is a great example of clear and positive communication. Cool session – Post more like this, please
Peter Wood ScotlandExcellent video. Clear explanations, good link to practical use in a game
Nick Lacey EnglandExcellent drill to focus on footwork and momentum through tackle
Franklin Clark ScotlandI see Ben has been struggling to see a barber since his last videos 😂 looking forward to seeing this series.
