I am an accomplished coaching professional with experience in a variety of high performance environments. I am passionate about coaching the game of rugby and believe in a 'ball in hand' style which demands a high skill set. In order to achieve optimum performance I work with and develop players technically, tactically and positionally. I have studied skill acquisition in detail and I am driven to add value to players and coaches by up-skilling them to the highest standard.

 

I believe in challenging players and coaches to think about themselves as an individual within their team environment and to strive for excellence in all areas. 

​

Technically proficient in all areas of the game, I have coached within the Leinster player development pathway and have also worked with the Irish Women's National Team.  Additionally I have coached schools and clubs in the Irish system. Experienced tutor and coach educator, currently coaching specialist throwing, kicking and contact skills, and consulting with clubs on all team aspects in countries such as Ireland, UK, France and USA.
