My daughter thinks I'm Chandler Bing (she has no idea what I do and I don't see it as work) and so I'm sharing a few of the many projects we've done with Oyoannax this season to help her (hopefully)... ❤️

Don’t care if we win the WC, hope coaches see that caring, focusing on what players CAN do, creating an environment where people can be their best (looks like fun for these lads) and modelling good behaviours are way more important than technique and fault correction.. 😎

FAO the coach I spoke to today who asked me ‘who the hell are you?’ and told me ‘I am a level 1 RFU coach and so know what to do’. Shouting at kids for missing tackles & choosing the option you would not have chosen when asked if they wanted to kick/receive is not that useful 😎

Parents I'm sure you have good intentions but please don't shout instructions to your child while they play. You may think it will help them but they already have enough to think about on the pitch! Instead just enjoy watching them be children and having fun, let them play.
