On this episode, I have a hard look at the rise of fitness influencers and the myths they sell. From fake lifestyles and photo filters to questionable product pushes. Also, how to separate inspiration from misinformation, and what it means for the real coaches in the industry.

First XV Coach Cast Episode 14- Fitfluencers vs. Real Coaching

On this episode, I share my thoughts on how exercise as punishment, often seen as a coach's way of reacting to poor behavior or mistakes, can create a negative relationship with fitness for young athletes. Instead of using sprints or pushups to punish players, focus on fostering an environment of growth, development, and personal responsibility.

First XV Coach Cast Episode 12- Buy In From Young Athletes

IT'S THE FINAL GO AROUND for those American rugby knuckleheads! Well you know, for the season at least. On this episode we are definitely not holding anything back now. We are on about the send off match for the Lions against Los Pumas, and why everyone needs to cool it for the Lions' sake. It's then a glance at the Super Rugby final...don't look too closely if you're a Chiefs fan, yikes. Then it's a venture to Fort Quincy where there's still one muppet that's continuously rolled out there that we can't stand (no not that one, him too, but you know).

We get into end of the season recognitions and a big shout to our friends George and PAUL (so sorry we...well one of us spaced on your name, what an idiot) for pushing our highest episode count to heights we normally don't reach.

Of course, THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU. You're all amazing and we'll see you in the fall!
