Up-to-the-minute coaching information...
With Rugby Coach Weekly you will be kept bang up-to-date with the very latest news, law changes and views on rugby.
My extensive list of contacts mean that if there
is a law development you'll hear about it
immediately and know all the implications for
you and your team.
Each week I will provide you with very latest advice for:
- coaching techniques and skills
- fitness
- psychology
- player roles and responsibilities
- planning training sessions
- player management and selection
- coaching children
- player safety
- personal development
- match tactics
- developing team spirit
- individual and team discipline
- warm-ups
- training through games.
Best practice coaching...
You will be shown the best ways to help your players improve. I have seen too many coaches showing players the wrong way to tackle and pass. And if players do not practise skills to a very high standard in training then they won't be able to carry out that last-ditch tackle or miss-pass under pressure on match day.
You can rest safe in the knowledge that what you're coaching your players is essential for their development in the game.
