@Gordon Pretorius that would be great if you have access to resources like that. Keep it up brother. Great to see how the players are focused and paying attention.

@Gordon Pretorius This is an interesting topic and one that every coach no matter the level they coach at encounters. The interesting thing is at the start of the season players nr1 request is coaches need to be honestbwith them all the time, but as soon as the coaches are honest some players can't take the honesty. Sometimes the issues we face are caused by ourselves. Many players believe once you named your 1st team for the year (1st game) that 15 is etched in stone, and that is not generally the case. That is why as a coach you should probably explain your selection every game - sounds easier than it is. In our case some reasons include: - "You didn't attend practise that is why we've picked Xxxx ahead of you" - "We feel Yyyyy's game is better suited for what we want to achieve against our next opposition" (horses for courses) - "This week we are picking you on the bench to see if you can't make a bigger impact from the bench" - "Everything OK your side, I sense your game has taken a dip over the past few weeks, We want you to improve your scanning and decision making before you come to the ruck, if you can improve that part of your game in the 2nd team you'll soon be able to fight for your place again." During the pre-season games I always joke with the players and tell them when I make a sub I will call your name and what I indicate with my finger/-s is the reason why you are subbed: - 1 finger = we saw enough of you today, you can come and have a rest - 2 fingers = you are subbed because of a slight niggle, we want to save you for the season - 3 fingers = you played the amount of time we agreed upon before the game - 4 fingers = we want to give Zzzzz Xxxxx an opportunity - don't let me show you 5 fingers because 5 fingers = you had a poor game today!!!

@Gordon Pretorius Great stuff brother

I think anything that gives coaches more time on the grass will be seen as a good thing. This really looks like something interesting @Gordon Pretorius

@Gordon Pretorius this looks great and very interesting. - Can the coach also design his/her own sessions? Or do the platform automatically design all your sessions? - Is it a means/platform used to save time? - The Tactical Board and Squad Management tab sparked my interest.
