Best thing about coaching rugby is… To me, the best thing about coaching is the satisfaction of seeing players develop not only on the field but also as a person through the values that rugby imparts to them. Nothing beats seeing the smiles on players’ faces when they enjoy themselves on the field.

Best thing about coaching rugby is… Every single day is different! It’s great to see all kinds of moods at the start of the session, only to have everyone leaving feeling ecstatic, exhausted and raring to go next week!
What I tell my players… Rugby is a game made around mistakes. That’s why there are scrums, restarts, lineouts etc. What you do after the mistake is made, determines you as a player!

Best thing about coaching rugby is… It is more than just imparting knowledge about the game, I believe in nurturing players both on and off the field. Educating values and principles are equally important in the development of an athlete, it helps to groom players to be a better individual. And that’s the beauty of it to see players being holistically better.
What I tell my players… Rugby is a team sport; it takes a village to win and you are only as good as the weakest person in the team. You help others to be as good, you will be better.

Experience & qualifications… SRU Refereeing Level 1. I’ve played rugby since was 4 years old and have been through Centaurs from U12-U17, and currently play for Bucks RFC. Position: Scrum half.
Best thing about coaching rugby is… Watching the kids having as much fun and love for the game as I do. Watching the players improve as rugby players but also seeing their characters develop.
What I tell my players… Be confident to always back yourself and your abilities. The worst trait is to be unsure, even if you think you haven’t made the best decision still do it at 100%. Always keep your head up and be positive.

What I love most about rugby… Meeting amazing people from different aspect of life, and forming a bond also instantly, “I’ve got your back you’ve got mine” relationship on the field.
My coaching programmes… must be fun and engaging, challenging the players to stay focus and getting the skill right.

Experience & qualifications… I’ve been coaching for 10 years, with players U9 to U20 – some of these guys now have a national team jersey. I have a Diploma in Sports Coaching, and am World Rugby Level 1 Coaching certified. I played for Centaurs when I was younger and now play for Wanderers RFC as Hooker.
What I tell my players is… Play like how you train, and train like how you’ll play. The mindset of what you will do and how you will do it starts from training, it’s the small things that you do during training that adds to the habit of how you’ll perform during games. Encourage one another and move forward together, teams that stick together win together.
Best thing about coaching is… The joy of the players when you see them enjoying the process, the joy when they feel accomplished when they learn something new. When players train so hard and finally it paid off when they win the game. The appreciation when the players say we have made who they are today. Coaching isn’t just about teaching them the skills to use on the field, but also the lessons we teach them off the field and how they grow as a person. Any amount of money can’t buy that happiness when you see them being successful and thanking you for what you did.

Experience & qualifications… I am a Level 3 RFU coach and have been coaching Rugby for over 20 years, including 3 years with England Rugby. I am also a Coach Educator and Strength and Conditioning coach.
