Yesterday, I had the pleasure in my capacity as DoR at Farnham Rugby Club spend some time with the Director of Rugby from Guildford Rugby Club - Aidan Turns. A great meeting (as all the previous meetings from my local clubs have been) and enlightening on so many fronts!! A couple of headlines... 1. The Reality of Building a Rugby Legacy - Guildford Rugby Club has evolved from humble beginnings in 1922 to a thriving hub for rugby excellence. This growth is a testament to the dedication of players, coaches, volunteers and its community. 2. We discussed the Do’s and Don’ts of Rugby Club development... Don’ts: ❌ Don’t overlook the importance of youth development. ❌ Don’t neglect facility upgrades. ❌ Don’t be afraid to be a leader - deal with all manner of day to day ‘rugby stuff’ that lacks integrity or not within our sports values. Do’s: ✅ Invest in youth rugby (girls & boys) - it's important!!. ✅ Continuously upgrade facilities and look after your finances robustly. ✅ Foster a sense of community - always!! Guildford Rugby Club’s success stems from these core principles and in no small measure I am sure, down to Aidan and his team. Good luck over the forthcoming season (not to much luck - obviously🙏😂😂)!! #RugbySuccess #GuildfordRugby #ClubDevelopment #RugbyLegacy #GuildfordRugby #Commitment

Stepping into the role of a youth lacrosse coach has given me the unique opportunity to guide kids on teamwork and resilience. In this sport, every player starts from the same spot—adjusting to new equipment and unfamiliar rules. It's a great reminder that in lacrosse, as in life, the effort you put in determines what you get out. Interested in joining or know a young athlete who might be?

A child's finger near a father perhaps says: "Look, what a big game!" Marcus Smith slotted it for a slim win in final seconds. Danny Care got 100 caps. The mother of England rugby captain Jamie George recently died. Ireland played as Ireland do - a team, attitude and ethos that speaks to 'the art of the possible'. Up there. All of them & beyond. Like Gareth Southgate on the 'round' rather than 'oval' ball front, they walk like us all with ghosts of things past with recast stories of what was, what is today and what could and might be tomorrow.   Jonny Wilkinson talked in today's post-match chat amid this evolving Six Nations series of moments when one is "looking for inspiration in life" and how in the 'game' one is often defined in a moment. That is the world we are in.   It’s only #rugby, only a game, only 80 minutes, only #sport.   As a #kiwi who has lived on this island for more time than I have lived in Aotearoa I get why the business of sport in and beyond rugby plays into various key narratives and marketing initiatives so heavily and so heavily into the global business of business.   Teamwork, focus, delivering to plan, going faster, growing & having a belief that runs up to and through the / our final whistle.   What’s not to like?   Sometimes sport goes beyond a game.   Sometimes moments in sport are metaphors for lives.   Sometimes what one wins is not as important as how, why and when one wins.   Sometimes little moments have a power to change things. That can matter in your world, this world, our world. As always, there is a support team helping players come alive on and off the field. Remember the support. It matters.   Life – is sometimes a game, a story, a moment. No LinkedIn ‘so what do you think about this?’ here …   Just sharing a moment ... from a moment ...   #teamwork #sport #motivation #life #ENGvIRE England Rugby Carpe Diem

Let’s Get Behind School Rugby Throughout the course of this week, the National Schools’ Rugby Sevens will see over 14,000 players in over 1000 teams compete in a variety of competitions. Some are here to win it, some aiming to progress further than before and others participating for the experience. Whilst Rugby is addressing legitimate challenges, it is also a game that continues to capture the imagination of large numbers. The era of compulsory rugby is long gone, and these children are participating because they love the game. It never was a sport for everyone, but continues to be one which enriches the lives of many, providing lifelong memories and friendships. There is something captivatingly attractive about Rugby, though its leaders are curiously reluctant to articulate its benefits more widely. Those of us who have been positively impacted by the game have to be more vocal in our support: the modern game is a niche experience, with unique benefits and challenges. But, those who love it, love it as much as they ever did. Let’s get behind school Rugby - and lifelong friendships

Want to increase the numbers of kids participating in your sporting Club? Three steps: 1. Take responsibility for it. National associations are not there to solve all your problems. For one - they don't know your community, your local politics, your local people - only YOU know how to connect with your community. 2. From the first step you take into the Club - as a coach, an administrator, a parent - say, "I am going to make this the best possible experience and the most fun any kid has ever had at a sporting club". Forget worrying about talent or buying new equipment or who gets the new Stand named after them - make it fun! 3. In every situation - in all discussions - in all Committee meetings - begin and end with one simple premise - "We're here for them". Too many Clubs fail because they make it all about the Club and not about the people who come to play, to coach, to officiate and to enjoy being there together. Make it about the people and not the logo or the blazer. #rugby #gaa #sport #football #basketball #swimming #athletics #rugbyleague #AFL #waynegoldsmith #wgcoaching IMAGE - BRUSK DEDE - UNSPLASH

Rugby Accelerations in Context: There are many ways you can add Context to your Speed/Movement coaching: Here are some examples for a County/Academy level rugby player: 1 - Catch a ball 2 - Transition from Walk into Acceleration 3 - React to colour(s) of cone and adjust Acceleration to the external Stimuli There are so many more simple things you could add, depending in what the individual player needs. For context, this player is also an exceptional track Sprinter. #Rugby #ecological #coaching
