30 Min Q&A With Elite Rugby Coach
Posted by: | Comments
Over the last 12 months I’ve been asking amateur rugby coaches what questions they would ask an Elite Rugby Coach if they got to spend 30 minutes with them and I received questions from 4,322 coaches….which took me a while to go through:-)
Anyhow I grouped all the questions that were similar and wrote down the top 20/30. I then asked Ex GB and current Wigan Warriors Head Coach Brian Noble if he would answer these questions from amateur coaches from both codes.
I’m really pleased that he agreed and I videoed our Q&A session.
Now for those that don’t know Brian, he’s one of the most respected rugby league coaches in the world and has won every domestic honour in the English game whilst coaching the Bradford Bulls a few years ago. He is also a regular summarizer for Sky TV.
One of the biggest reasons I asked Brian first is, he is a huge advocate of improving core skills which I’m a massive believer in.

Drop Kicking Drills
Posted by: | Comments
Drop Kick
I seem to be getting quite a few questions about certain types of kicking drills and here’s one that is quite common;
“I am coaching a youth team so the child will be u15 and only just starting as a defined kicker at this point he is only going to restarts as we do not play for drop goals as we encourage running and scoring tries, He will mainly be doing drop kicks from restarts and 22 drop outs.
My kicker for poles is someone else at this time. With regards chasing kicks I have defined people and others know they have to drop back to cover the lines and assist the full back. I am having difficulty with my drop kickers technique at htis time. Can you help and send me some drills I can have him working on?”
For the answer, please download the following word doc;
