• Rugby Coach

  • Nov 2019 - Jul 2022

  Coach at the Gloucester & Cheltenham centre's of the Gloucester Rugby Developing Players Program. Coming in 2 months into the season to a established coaching group was a challenge to be able to integrate and establish myself effectively. I had to quickly immerse myself within the coaching team and find my place within the coaching structure of around 6 other coaches. I was tasked with the U13s along with another 2 coaches and quickly took a lead to get things moving. This immediately became my focus for the first hour where U13s and U14s are split along with the coaching group. This allowed me to establish myself properly within the coaching structure and make use of leadership and team working skills to help create a strong environment for the players. In the second hour when we solely had the U15s, I was often a roaming coach, assisting and developing players individually as well as refereeing game elements. Show less
