Course reviews

Great vids from Jase as always. Man I am learning so much as a coach getting ready for my second season. I have a question though, what software is recommended to annotate vids for coaching and sharing with players?

England

Australia

Italy

Great drill on setting up Hooker, great details and well described! I will use it tomorrow in practice!!

Canada

Be nice to see videos on a more frequent basis. Content is good, but how many new releases are we seeing ? Sorry, just asking

England

Having used Mike Cron and now Jase Ryan’s coaching videos for the past 2 years as Forwards coach at Ivybridge RFU U13 and U14s, the current U15s pack now have 7 out of 8 in the Devon Team Squad and the Exeter Chiefs Academy and one has signed up professionally for a Premiership side. The open side flanker is also now in U15s Devon Team and Academy but as a centre!! Key core skills solidified and many micro improvements relentlessly applied improve the pack.

England

Jase knows what he is talking about.Great informative series for both players and coaches.
