I'm starting to investigate the role of the Director of Rugby and the responsibilities that are required in the job and how to manage and lead a team effectively.

I have put together this questionnaire to try and gain a better understanding. 1/2

9. Mark Edmondson, Australian Open 1976

Edmondson was a late call up to the tournament due to player drop outs. He won the final 6-7, 6-3, 7-6, 6-1.

He was ranked 212th in the world and remains the lowest ranked player in history to win a Grand Slam.

8. Leicester City, 2015/16

Leicester City started the 15/16 Premier League season with a 5000/1 chance of winning the league title.

In May, they won the league, beating Arsenal to the title. It is often described as the greatest sporting stories of all time.

7. Oakland Athletics, MLB 2002 Season

The Oakland Athletics had a player budget of $41 million, the third lowest payroll in the MLB.

They ended up making the playoffs and went the distance against the New York Yankees who had a player budget of $125 million.

[Jonny Burden @jonny_burden10]

I’m looking for a coach to join a charity 7’s team.

Must ideally have a good understanding of the game of 7’s and how to coach it. We play at an open level and are based in the South East of England.

If this is of interest, drop me a DM!

6. Anna Kiensehorf, Tokyo Olympics 2020.

In road cycling, leading from the front and winning has the odds of 1000/1.

Kiensehorf did just that, beating the favourite Annemiek van Vleuten to the gold medal. Austria’s first cycling medal since 1896.

Good question asked by @hharryjjones 👇

[Harry Jones @hharryjjones]

To my extended coaching family 👪, **what is DPP all about**? What should we be using the DPP platform for?

Reflecting on DPP and it's place in the pathway and the community..🤔 would love any thoughts, including ones that challenge my biases 🤹‍♂️

Question 5

Are we playing/coaching to prove ourselves or to express ourselves?

What are the differences ?

#BTLBClive

[Between The Lines Book Club @BTLBC_]

Question 4

What are your reflections on this quote from @JonnyWilkinson

“I went from thinking I could be an important person by winning things to realising that winning doesn’t make you important.

I realised that it’s better to be no one. Because that is freedom.

#BTLBClive

[Between The Lines Book Club @BTLBC_]

Question 3

Do we need confidence to perform/play well?

#BTLBC

[Between The Lines Book Club @BTLBC_]

Question 2

What is pressure made of?

We talk about pressure all the time, but are we clear on what it is and what it isn’t?

#BTLBClive

[Between The Lines Book Club @BTLBC_]

Question 1

What would it mean (to you and/or the players that you coach)...
if there was no pressure in sport or performance?

#BTLBClive

[Between The Lines Book Club @BTLBC_]

Really keen to hear your perspectives on these topics (& happy to have a go at answering any questions)

Thanks for having me 🙂
