Developing People, Players and as Coaches - Warren Spragg, Sale Sharks Kicking Coach

from The Coaching Arena

On this episode, I had the absolute privilege to speak with Warren Spragg.Warren is the kicking coach at Prem Rugby Club, Sale. He has played for Italy, Italy 7s, England u21s and England u18s. He has over 20 years experience in elite level rugby as a player and coach. I am blown away with the coaches and athletes that have given me their time and insights on the Coaching Arena. These chats are gold, and this chat with Warren has completely changed my mindset on coaching and how I thought my son was results driven, when perhaps in hindsight, he isn't. This was an incredible chat on developing people, players and as coaches. We spoke of many things, including : Common coaching themes from juniors to elite levelInside out coaching, Transformational Coaching vs Transactional Coaching Understanding people and what motivates them and what players needCollaboration Superpowers of a playerBeing curious Minimum standards and the consistency of practice habits and skill challengesMindset, routine and clarityThe rewards of sportHow you know you are making progressThe importance of feedback loopsSkill sets, not pigeon holingI really hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did and thanks very much for listening Hosted on Acast.
