Welcome to Total Rugby Coaching
Two things for me are critical in how I approach coaching: 1) The Four Corner Model Technical Tactical Physical Social & Emotional You can be the fastest player in the world but if you don’t know when to turn it on or how to use it you will struggle. For a player centred approach, the 4th corner is critical. Some coaches call this attitude, I call it social & emotional because someone attitude could easily be influenced by the coaching, if we as coaches can undergang and work with the social & emotional we might get a better attitude? 2) Toolbox coaching is the way forward: We cannot script rugby. Players need to control the game that see happening in front of them. As a coach I develop their toolbox. Each tool has a purpose and solves a problem or creates an opportunity. Give the players authority to decide which tool to use and when. What key things do you see as critical when you are coaching?
