To start, Ben and Sir Graham Henry cover the Principles of Rugby – Attack and Defence.
Create a recipe of play. Have a philosophy for Attack and Defence. Score tries in Attack and stop scoring in Defence – Simple really. Enjoy!
In this video, Ben and the coaches, explain how your philosophy fits your values, behaviour and beliefs and defines you, and your team. Enjoy!
In this video, Ben details what Reflection is, why it is important and ways to incorporate it into your day to day coaching experience. Enjoy!
Just because you said it, it doesn’t mean it’s been heard. Understand the type of coach you are to enable you to get the best from your trainings and player performance. In this video, Ben returns with another Level 2 coaching module – the key points to Planning and Delivering an Effective Training session. Enjoy!
In this video, Ben details the key components of Skill Analysis, (the next stage of the L200 coach education content). Why not use the time to focus on Skill Analysis and individual player development. Start Developing your Players Today!
Ben Herring returns with another Coach Education session. This time he details Developing Players’ Game Sense at training. Game Sense is creating situations for players to find solutions to the skill you want to learn. As Ben highlights, the site has a number of videos on coaches developing players Game Sense – Wayne Smith, Rusty Earnshaw, Salty Thompson and Gregor Townsend plus others to view. Enjoy!
Ben, with help from Rugby site Founders, Wayne Smith and Brendon Ratcliffe (all reknown communicators), presents various techniques to ensure what you say is heard. Can’t understand why the players can’t understand! This week, Ben Herring is back with another session from his Coach Development series focusing on Effective Communication. Enjoy!
The Art is about the relationships and the environment – the intangible. The Science deals in the numbers and tactics – the tangible. Balance is the key – like Yin and Yang, as Ben Herring communicates in today’s release, to developing a successful team. Enjoy!

Great material and insights
Thank you all. This helps me get one more step up the ladder to becoming a better coach. Very good content.
THIS SECTION IS VER GOOD AND REALLY PUTS IN GREAT FRAME ESPECIALLY WITH TODAY’S ATHLETE WHO HAVE A SINCE ENTITLEMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE DIFFICUTIES IN COACHING. IN MANY WAYS PARENTS PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THIS BY TALKING ABOUT COACHES IN FRONT OF THEIR CHILDREN. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR GOOD COACHES. THE REALITY IS SOME PLAYERS AND NOT THAT GOOD AND MAY NEVER BE OR THEY ARE UNCOACHABLE BASED ON PARENTS BEHAVIOR.
This session is worth revisiting occasionally. Sometimes people, including me, tend to become a follower of existing ideas and methodologies. This session reminds me of the importance of being creative, flexible and having my own philosophy. The ideas and suggestions in these videos can be applied to other field like business. I enjoyed this session.
Really powerful philosophy. Links your values, aims and attributes to coaching effectively.
Love Wayne’s reference to Pierre Villepreux! I have been mentored by him in his former FIRA role and visited his Summercamp many times to understand more of his approach. He creates games with an unbalance in attack and defence by manipulating starting positions and numbers of players. Exciting stuff to learn!
Excellent detail and thought provoking. The concepts explored will help enormously to steer us to develop into a more creative and effective coach.
This is great material. I hope that I can have lesson plans for level 2 to finish my Level 2 WR coaching training?
Thank you
Outstanding breakdown of the basics of the Principles of Play. This is absolutely key in getting both rookie and veteran players on the same philosophical page when it comes to why we play.
