Defining a Coach
All coaches are different and there are no set approaches - however, all successful coaches command respect.
Coaching rugby at any level requires a selection of skills ranging from match analysis and planning sessions to developing team spirit and dealing with officials, for which coaches need a variety of communication qualities.
The best coaches are innovators who continually question traditional practices and are not afraid to try different approaches.
Each skill is supported by the next and a weakness in one can undermine the strengths in another. The way to tackle areas for improvement is to continually self reflect with the help of feedback from players and fellow coaches.
Coaches should not rely on their past achievements as players or their 'gift of the gab' but the acquisition of a broad range of skills and a continuous search for improvement.
Dealing with a variety of personalities is at the top of the list and is probably the most challenging aspect of coaching.
A passion for success is the crucial trait for coaches who have to deal with a range of challenges
