Course reviews
Mark Woodward — EnglandI took away a few great tips that I will take forward to my next session.
John Walker — EnglandGiven the most recent calls to have contact rugby banned in schools in the UK (Sept 17) this Tackle series by Ben is a powerful message to show how in depth training of the tackle is so important and so effective in reducing the chances of injury. A superb series which I am using with my U17s side very effectively.
Micah — CanadaLove it! Great stuff!
JM — JapanJapanese please
Jorge Saleme — ArgentinaPor favor, la traducción al español. Me inscribí, porque ustedes me dijeron que todos los videos estaban traducidos. Sino, pido mi reembolso. Gracias
Chris Botto — USAThis was a great series. I was hoping to get some ideas on how to coach and drill the double tackle (two men tackling the ball carrier). When watching high level rugby, I’m noticing more and more two defensive players are going after the ball carrier. Thanks!
Darryn Jamieson — AustraliaAwesome
Steven Hogg — IrelandLiked the approach to the warm up!!
César Cat — UruguayMuy bueno pero falta la traducción es a español
Tawhiri Hetaraka — AustraliaGreat exercises to apply at any stage of a players ability, age and size, looking forward to using these drills, thank you.
