Course reviews

I took away a few great tips that I will take forward to my next session.

Mark Woodward England

Given 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.

John Walker England

Love it! Great stuff!

Micah Canada

Japanese please

JM Japan

Por favor, la traducción al español. Me inscribí, porque ustedes me dijeron que todos los videos estaban traducidos. Sino, pido mi reembolso. Gracias

Jorge Saleme Argentina

This 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!

Chris Botto USA

Awesome

Darryn Jamieson Australia

Liked the approach to the warm up!!

Steven Hogg Ireland

Muy bueno pero falta la traducción es a español

César Cat Uruguay

Great exercises to apply at any stage of a players ability, age and size, looking forward to using these drills, thank you.

Tawhiri Hetaraka Australia
