Thanks for this mate, been waiting for something like this 🙌
Welcome & Free Lesson 🔥
Hi all, Welcome to our new members! 👏 Please drop a comment with where you are from, where you coach and what you’d like to get out of this community. 💡What will you get from the free lesson? (Go to Classroom —> Freebies) Upon completion, you will be able to apply the Name–Action–Need model to give concise, purposeful feedback that supports player confidence, improves focus, and effectively increases the transfer of information. - A simple framework for giving fast, effective pitch-side feedback - Better communication under pressure, especially when players are fatigued - Less over-coaching and fewer long explanations - More player clarity, confidence, and quicker responses - A practical way to keep coaching concise while still giving meaningful direction - A pocket guide which you can apply immediately in training and match-day environments Once you’ve given it a go, please some feedback in the general discussion section, I’d love to see how it went.

Hi Gordon, good to see you starting up this group mate. - I’m From Sydney, Australia. - I’m currently Coaching 2x junior teams, 1 school team, 1 representative team and helping out a grade club. I’m really interested in the teaching side of coaching. (cognitive learning) which I think is a side of coaching that really isn’t talked about

@Gordon Pretorius No problem at all, mate. As the great Gurthro says, we can learn from anyone, and everyone has something they can share. To be honest, mate, I don’t have to plan much. Most of the roles I have are assisting, which is mainly just running lineouts. But if I’m the head coach, planning early makes things easier in the long run and gives different people autonomy (players and assistant coaches — they know just as much as you). The main one recently has been with curriculum and interleaving.
