[QUOTE="Zootalaws, post: 828170, member: 61187"] Spot on. Coaching is often left to those who least shy away from it, if you know what I mean, and then you can be left in the position of accepting mediocrity or poor coaching, nepotism and bullying just because that's all you've got. Given the massive resources of rugby in the U.K., it always seemed unbalanced, that the academy players and the first team got all the resources and the very youngest and their coaches were given almost nothing. If you ever venture down under, do it in rugby season and get yourself along on a Saturday morning to any club, anywhere in the country. I guarantee you you will be surprised at the professionalism and dedication and community support, even at a small rural club with bugger-all cash. In my opinion, it all starts with the tiddlers. The way you treat them, and your unpaid volunteers, support workers, administrators, dictates the mettle of a club. I know there are clubs in the U.K. that have that sort of ethic, but so often it's all about the money for the top team. [/QUOTE]
