They&apos;ve won the Independent Schools Association award for outstanding sport (small school) and been nominated for the Independent Schools Association award for innovation, recognising their provision during lockdown.We chat about how they have introduced a more ecological approach to their coaching, allowing their players to find meaning and have a more self-determined approach.In a wide-ranging discussion, here are some of the key topics we covered:How do you make fantastic athletes, even with a very diverse group of playersWhat is meant by finding meaning and why it is so importantHow do you frontload trainingWhat is a rich environment and how does this lead to self-determinationWhat are the challenges of setting up this type of curriculumHow long does it take to develop this sort of approachUsing "bingo" to challenge players helping players to reflect Fitting gamification and scaffolding into a sessionWhat does an ecological approach mean LINKShttps://www.stephenrollnick.com for more on Motivational Interviewing

Ref's view: Tackle and ball carrier height, 50:22 and no 5m scrums

Shots, systems and psych: Making all levels of player better defenders

Dan speaks to coaches Mike Pope and Rhys Williams about how they&apos;ve used what they&apos;ve learned from reading Doug Lemov&apos;s book: A Coach&apos;s Guide to Teaching.Here are some of Doug&apos;s thoughts after listening to the podcast (more notes on the Rugby Coach Weekly website):Until it comes unprompted when we aren’t reminded to think about it, we probably haven’t learned it.“Interleaving is always with something you’ve already talked about.” Hugely important clarification for coaches that I hadn’t thought to make… though I will now.Here are the key areas Dan, Rhys and Mike discussed:Rhys&apos;s six week plans: how they work in the context of what he took from the bookUsing feedback more effectively: examples, scenarios and maintaining flow in the session. Plus shortening the feedback loopHow interleaving makes learning stickHow the Forgetting Curve works for rugby playersTough feedback which creates pressureDesirable difficulty in trainingRhys is a youth rugby coach, plus works with Saracens DPP.Mike is a school&apos;s head of rugby , senior mens coach, plus a lead coach with Bath DPP.
