Individual Coach Comments
I have begun diving deep into leadership and culture (in coaching and teaching as well), and the more people who get their eyes and mind open to getting better and working on relationships the better. The improvement for me was in the technology realm.
Renaldo, Club coach, CA, USA
Lots of golden nuggets in there. All of the coaches (on the course) crying out for this sort of thing. There’s a hell of a lot of coaches here in Australia that could do this type of learning, believe me.
Andy, High school coach, NSW, Aust
Really enjoyed it, look forward to the next. Yeah definitely worth it
Andrew, Club coach, Auckland, NZ
Thought it was outstanding.
Peter, Professional coach, Canada
I think for me the “Big Value” was being able to share and hear thoughts with other coaches.
King, Club coach, Netherlands
I thoroughly enjoyed the session. It was remarkable that I could feel so energized at that time in the morning. I’ve already started to use some of the insights that were shared, it was a very valuable two hours. I’ll certainly be signing up for some more in the near future.
Gareth, Club coach, Netherlands
Thanks for a great session today! Thank you for inviting me to join. What a wealth of experience and knowledge in the group.
Kelly, Women’s Club coach, New Zealand
I particularly liked the variety of learning tools the program uses to get the key points across from readings, videos, reflections, questions and a tutorial. I have already found myself thinking about areas I can improve on to make me a better coach
James Semple, Waikato Women’s, New Zealand
provided quality leadership information in a rugby specific context and forced me to critically assess my own coaching practices and the experiences that shaped my coaching, guiding my leadership style.
Guy McKim, Guy McKim, Winnipeg Wasps Rugby Club, Canada
I have learned a great deal about my own approach to coaching and more importantly how I as a coach interact with my athletes individually during training having completed CALM. Great tool for coaching awareness towards their athletes needs and getting the most out if them
Bryan Murphy, Ennis RC, Ireland
The program exposed me to a different way of thinking of what leadership is and leadership when it comes to coaching. I learned tools that will help me not only be a better leader but mentor others to be better leaders.
Ron Suarez, FIU Men’s Rugby Club, Florida
This is going to be such an awesome tool and there is a huge need for it to help develop our future coaches.
Frank Hewitt-Smith, Lancaster University and Keswick RUFC, England
I thoroughly enjoyed the CALM program
Lindsay Mahoney, alofarugby, USA
I am really enjoying the content… it’s a good insight and will help me in my coach development.
