Editor's Notes
- #13 Studies – their desire to be a rugby player…how do THEY FEEL?
- #15 No good speaking a language they don’t understand – find common ground – it helps if youre a big kid at heart too!!
- #16 The top coaches in the game know its about people. Coaching is getting the best out of people. So it makes sense that the best, are the best ‘people coaches’
