Former Super Rugby Winning coach with the Bulls, Assistant coach of the Waratahs and Melbourne Rebels and current Southern Districts Head Coach Todd Louden joined us on the pod to chat all things rugby.

We jumped right into the thick of it hearing about his approach to coaching and the importance of building connection and caring for people and immersing yourself in the culture you are in.

Todd's experiences from School, Shute Shield, Japan South Africa and in Super Rugby across 3 teams shines through and his approach to people and the Tactical Periodisation of Training / Coaching at Southern districts is a great insight into his combination of experience and research that forms his coaching style.

Warringah Rats Head coach MIchael 'Rivo' Ruthven is on the this Pod talking about his path from Aus 16s, 19s and 21s, Shute Shield, NPC, Country Rugby and then into his coaching career at the club he loves. 

We dove into the art of coaching where imperfect is sometimes perfect and the importance of creating situations that players can react to and learn from, building a great coaching group around you as a coach as well as some great rugby stories. 

We sit down with Current Sydney Uni Head Coach, Former Melbourne Rebels, Kobe Steelers, Kyuden Voltex, Kinetsu Liners, Reds and National Academy coach and all round good human, Sean Hedger. 

We chatted through his journey from growing up in Darwin, a decade in Japan and all his Professional Coaching experiences. 

Loved this chat as we dived into respecting the culture and DNA of the club your coaching, the massive importance of sharing to develop learning as a coach, the need for coaches to work with and learn from senior players and what he's building at Sydney Uni ahead of season 2022.
