Hey everyone, In our self-paced modules we talk about, for example, the science of coaching; from building constraints-led games to managing cognitive load and designing effective sessions. But I also know that taking those pedagogical frameworks from paper to a wet, chaotic Tuesday night training pitch is where the real test happens. As we build out more resources for the Elevate community, I want to make sure we are tackling the exact hurdles you are facing right now on the ground right now. I’m opening the floor. What is the number one thing you are finding challenging in your coaching at the moment? Is it; • Practice Design: Designing sessions that actually teach the skill without creating confusion? • Player Buy-in: Getting your squad on board when, for example, shifting away from traditional, static blocked practice? • Differentiation: Managing drastically different skill levels or rugby IQs within the same session? • Something else entirely? Drop your biggest current roadblock in the comments below. Be as specific as you can. I'll be jumping in to brainstorm solutions and tweaks with you, and your answers will directly shape the upcoming masterclasses and resources we build next! 👇

New freebie for the community 🙌 Grab yours in the Classroom! I’ve just uploaded a new resource: Performing Under Pressure – The Red to Blue Model. This freebie is designed to help coaches guide players through pressure moments by teaching them how to recognise when they’re in a reactive “Red” state and how to reset back to a calmer, clearer “Blue” state. To be able to do this as a coach, we have to try and experience this ourselves first too. In this module, you’ll find: - a ready-to-use micro-lesson - practical reflection and discussion prompts - scenario-based activities - a printable worksheet (message me for the editable version) It’s a simple, practical tool you can use to develop self-regulation, self-awareness, decision-making, and emotional control in training and competition. Grab it, try it with your players, and let me know how you use it in your sessions 👇

Hi all, The community is growing, slowly but surely! Welcome to those of you who have just joined. Have a quick look at the video where I explain how you get to the Free micro-lessons which come with their own printables. Let me know in the poll whether you have already, or plan on trying one of these soon. What to do if you are trying these out: - Let us know when you are trying the hack. - Let us know how it went once you've tried it. - Get some player feedback. - OPTIONAL: Post a 30-60 second clip of you implementing the 3 word or freeze frame hack. Good luck, and have fun!
