In this episode of FXV Coach Cast, I dive into one of the most challenging and nuanced topics in coaching: working with athletes and clients who are injured.  I talk through frameworks for managing pain levels, when to modify exercises versus change them entirely, and why “don’t work out at all” is often the wrong answer. 

If you coach, train, or work with athletes in any capacity, and want to make more athlete-centered decisions around injury and recovery, this one might be for you.

Season 8- Weekly Fantasy Corner (Six Nations Round 1)

We are back for the second week running! On this episode with those American rugby knuckleheads, it's all about the previews. We are looking ahead to 6 Nations, team by team, who has concerns (most of the comp if we're honest) and who is in great shape to start their run in to '27. Then a quick glance at the Super Rugby kickoff next week. Which teams lost more than they're likely comfortable with and which ones are set to make a run again (spoiler alert, Crusaders are). Grab yourself something cold, kick back and join us fam!

Season 8- Super Rugby Draft Special (with FRG)

We have finally returned!...Just in time for a break, oops. We return from an enforced hiatus to recap a few things. Firstly, the happenings here in the U.S. (non-rugby related) so hold on for that one. Then, rather than recap what was a pretty unexciting round of Prem action, we look back at each club's season thus far. Tune in for some fun and to maybe find yourself a little annoyed.

Season 8- Episode 9- Long 'n' Hard (Champions Cup Round 1)

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.
