I really like Dave’s stuff. The detail is excellent and you can see the transfer of learning taking place with players as they perform. Thank you, great in sights 👍👍
Thank you for showing the body mechanics for quicker passes. It’s common to overlook those details and I appreciate you highlighting the differences for greater efficiency.
Am helping our college 1st 15 by observing live rugby in various level without any formal training. This is of huge help appreciated.
Great video
As always simple , effective and makes perfect sense
Absolutely brilliant Dave. Those handling fundamental skills are so important. I like what you have said “sometimes we doing these simple passing drills as a piece of cake, but this is where the big game are won and loss..” Awesome. Thank you very much..
Part 4 is brilliant – making players think hard while executing – brilliant. And it looks like a game too.
Once again Dave has clearly explained and demonstrated a useful session with key factors easy to understand. I look forward to conducting a better session next week.
