Introduction
Welcome to the Bob Dwyer Rugby Workshops Coaching Manual The structure of the manual is based on my belief that all quality play in rugby derives from quality execution of quality technique. Insistence on quality technique, executed under the pressure of game-related practice sessions, is therefore essential if we are to achieve our goal of successful performance. This manual will give you the direction to enable you to achieve this. An American Football coach once said, “You can’t win without good players, but you can sure lose with them. This is where the good coach comes in!” I believe that a good coach is one who has the enthusiasm, the determination and the courage to insist on quality execution of quality technique at all times. It’s a Bob Dwyer quote which says, “Practice does not make perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect.” It will require all of these qualities, all of the time, to achieve perfection. Don’t let your players down!
