Rugby has been my life, from the end of my professional rugby career i knew i wanted to stay in the sport and pursue a career in coaching.
I am very passionate about the sport and helping players achieve their goals. I feel because i have played professional rugby i have the ability to relate to the players and help them work on what they need to fix to improve. I know what is required to be in a winning team with a winning culture and i bring that to the teams that i coach.
I am hands on with my team and i lead by example. I motivate my players and try focus on each player individually to help them improve.
My biggest strength is the ability to utilize the best talents from each player and how to utilize the right players in the game.
