Riaan Van Straten was a great guest for the first-ever When Coaching Goes Wrong podcast.

His philosophy is to not only create great rugby players but also to create successful young people who can make a difference in the world. Rugby is not just a game, it's a way of life for him.Riaan has coached at all levels of the game including high school in South Africa, Cheetahs academy and more recently coaching professionally in Russia which is where he is now.
