Used to say playing rugby was the best ever decision. Now I would say coaching was an even better one.

@russellearnshaw Every coach. Mindset and behaviours are built.

Love this. Getting into planning for the season and this model is a great tool to help with my objectives.

Coaches: when players feel they matter, they feel seen, important & needed through how others treat them.

Scholars have deemed mattering to be a core instinct that drives all human behaviour. That’s why, when someone doesn’t believe they matter in a sports team they:

- won’t share their voice if they don’t believe their voice is significant
- won’t use their strengths if they don’t believe they have strengths
- won’t contribute if they don’t believe they have something to contribute
- won’t care as much as if they feel cared for

The above has been slightly adapted for sport from a post by @helenbevan on ‘X’ that promotes the great work of @ZachMercurio on ‘X’ on the importance of human mattering…please consider following both for more great content applicable to sports settings…

@ClaireM60235430 Fab photo Claire. What a season your boys are having.

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@RugbyCoachJess @TheMagicAcad @russellearnshaw @CrusadersLP @crusadersrugby @Carnegie_Sport @CarnegieSpCoach This was an inspiring and insightful listen 🙏

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@HappyHead74 What a quote.

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@daviesGDD @BJBotha This sounds fantastic

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

Love this. Sat reflecting earlier with Gareth @gazzatweetz on our kids sport journey. Honestly think we owe so much to you and others with this approach. @nonperfectdad conversations for the journey book has been so helpful 🙏

[RussellEarnshaw @russellearnshaw]

I hate those car journeys with my kids, always interrogating me about how well I coached… 😩 @playtheirway @RockitRugby @_UKCoaching @RugbyCreative @nonperfectdad @twowheelprof ❤️

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@mwrugbycoaching @LymmRugbyClub Exciting Mark. Good luck

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@PTDuncan8 @HeswallPrimary Looks great Duncan.

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@Birkenhead_DoS @stambrosesports @AudenshawSport What a 7’s season. Well done boys.

Most improved team @Birkenhead_DoS
@mwrugbycoaching ?

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@Birkenhead_DoS @RPNS7s An absolute pleasure to have been part of their Birkenhead rugby journey for the last 5 years. Keep it up boys, don’t stop the jokes and laughter either.

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@Waterloonumber8 @russellearnshaw @GrahamHiggy @peter_scrivener @sootylfc @JackDLeech @mwrugbycoaching Been using this and reflecting all week. Fascinating that the younger the player the more they embrace it. Less fear? Not coached ‘pattern’? Better agility?

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

Loving coaching 7’s and feel like I have loads to learn.
Rugby friends, please give me you top attacking tip. @russellearnshaw @GrahamHiggy @Waterloonumber8 @peter_scrivener @sootylfc @JackDLeech @mwrugbycoaching

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@Birkenhead_DoS @RossallSchool What a delight these boys are to coach. Well done boys

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@MikeFriday09 @peter_scrivener @Waterloonumber8 @mwrugbycoaching I have the pleasure of coaching Skriv Jr. He is a delight, will train in the rain and always wants to do the right thing.

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@russellearnshaw @GrahamHiggy @Waterloonumber8 @peter_scrivener @sootylfc @JackDLeech @mwrugbycoaching This is our attacking target for first tournament tomorrow.

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@JackDLeech @russellearnshaw @GrahamHiggy @Waterloonumber8 @peter_scrivener @sootylfc @mwrugbycoaching Want to score loads of tries. A dry ball and fast pitch would be nice too.

[Sarah Jones @RuckRoll1]

@peter_scrivener @russellearnshaw @GrahamHiggy @Waterloonumber8 @sootylfc @JackDLeech @mwrugbycoaching @MikeFriday09 Like this, always want the mindset of winning the ball back.
