In this episode I get back behind the mic after the holiday break to talk about something that really bothers me when I see it happening, coaches who make it about themselves instead of their athletes. I talk through the two big patterns I see all the time with this. I also dive into the impact a coach’s attitude has on the athlete experience.

Season 8- Weekly Fantasy Corner (Prem Round 6)

It's another one from those rugby dopes from the U.S. On this episode, we take a moment to honor a legend of New England as Josh Larsen calls time on a stellar career as the Original Free Jack. Good luck in retirement and coaching Cap, you're a legend. Then it's time to give thanks, as we recognize the upcoming holiday here in the States, suffice to say Thank You to All is the theme.

Season 8- Episode 6- Two Refs, One Scrum (November Internationals Cont.)

It's two weeks running of those American rugby knuckleheads. On this episode, sadly it is more of the same as last week. Rugby (men's rugby) dying a slow painful death by 1000 papercuts, US rugby having their head stuck firmly up inside themselves and just plain sad. It's a bit og a long one, so buckle in, bring a drink and join us fam!

Season 8- Episode 5- Late Metallica (November Internationals)

We return after a brief hiatus! On this episode with those American rugby fools, it's time for some real gripes, so either plug your ears or skip ahead. We get into everything from what's being valued incorrectly and what the answers for rugby growth are (spoiler alert, it's not R:360). Yes, we tuck into round 5 of the Prem a bit too and get into superlatives for the week. Kick back and enjoy friends, this one is pretty juicy.

Season 8- Episode 4- Rugby Therapy (Prem Round 5)

On this episode of Coach Cast, I tackle the common misconception that being an exceptional athlete automatically translates to being a great coach. There are some really famous examples and there's a generally good measure of how you can tell if someone will or won't be a good coach after they are done.
