Course reviews
Rob Fisher EnglandGreat topic series, as coaches it’s on us to always work on communicating clearly and instilling respect and a sense of fun. Inspiring to see how the greats do this !
Guy McKim CanadaThis is a very good model of what I know I need to get better at, very clear, simple and easy to understand.
Lara Jones Great Britain & Northern IrelandThis is really helpful on how to pass on information to players effectively. Great for my assignment :)
Bob Easson ScotlandLIKED THE COMMENT ABOUT “BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS”
John Walker EnglandThe one constant I have found with the Rugby Site is the coaches and the way they deliver their sessions. I admire the calm approach and the way they involve the players in the process, both problem solving and delivering the skills. If I had to take only one thing away from The Rugby Site it would be the communication skills of the coaches. For me that is the paramount lesson. Brenndon delivers superbly.
Lionel Langenhoven South Africayes i just think that feedback plays a huge role interms of progression of the player
Tyler Leggatt CanadaVery important part of the learning process! Really pleased to see this content on the site. Hope all take notes!
Aaron Callaghan New ZealandGreat topic to draw attention to. Thanks
