Mia Brake – Rugby Coaching Course
On the 1st of May I spent three days at Reefton area school where I participated in a rugby coaching course. I packed my rugby boots and a pen and off I went.
This course was for students who have either played or coached rugby and wanted to learn coaching skills, no matter how much experience you’ve had. Throughout the course we learnt how to know what participants needs are during sport, such as what they need to work and build on e.g a player’s footwork.
We learnt how to prevent injuries and identify risks and hazards. By the end of it we planned and presented our own coaching session for other students to participate in. The course was great and I would definitely recommend it to other students. It was a fun way to meet people while learning new skills that you can share with others and best of all you get to play rugby!
