<\/a><\/p>\nTo get things up and running and in line with the theme of the presentation\u2026 \u201cThinking differently\u2026\u201d the first question I asked was\u2026 and we discussed the various ways you could do this\u2026<\/p>\n
I then showed a few videos of different coaching scenarios to have a discussion about \u201cWhat is coaching\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n Then we moved into people sharing their Coaching Philosophy\u2026<\/p>\n And then I asked them \u201cWhat are the key areas to develop\u2026?\u201d and \u201cWhat are the key skills in Rugby Union\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDoes your Philosophy match up to what the key areas and key skills are and then what you actually deliver on the field\u2026?\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n I then covered the reasons WHY you would use a \u2018Games for Understanding\u2019 approach\u2026<\/p>\n One of the key aspects we discussed was\u2026 \u201cWhat can you change\u2026?\u201d in respect to your Practice Design to enable the players to \u201cfigure it out\u201d through Guided Discovery\u2026<\/p>\n After the presentation and discussions we then went outside\u2026 where I then showed snippets of Nick Hill Coaching\u2026 which again would challenge their thoughts and get them to reflect on their own coaching\u2026 I did a variety of 5 minute sets of different \u2018Conditioned Games\u2019 to give them a flavour how I would put into practice some of the things that we discussed in my presentation.<\/p>\n In the 1st set I would create some basic rules to get the game up and running and then just let the players \u201cplay\u201d to see how many tries they would score\u2026<\/p>\n One of the key things I do is only referee the rules that are put in place on the games and let the players \u201cfigure it out\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n Then for the final 5 minute set I would then do the same game as the 1st set to see how many tries they would score\u2026<\/p>\n So the $1,000,000 question is what enabled the players to go from 0-0 in the 1st set to 10-10 in the last set 30 minutes later\u2026?! (i.e 0 tries in 5 minutes to 4 tries in 5 minutes)<\/p>\n A key part of my Coaching Process is asking questions\u2026<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
