My guest this week is rugby referee and former Royal Marine - Mark Scoular.   This interview was recorded in February of 2023 and we talked about Mark's early days playing for Carnoustie Rugby Club. We then got into a deep discussion about leadership, teamwork, refereeing principles and mental preparations. And we even dipped our toes in the murky waters of the tackle height debate!   There are a load of great take-away's in this episode and plenty of fun, too - hope you enjoy!   LINKS Mark Scoular's business website - https://www.protectandprepare.co.uk/ and @protectandprep1 on Twitter Mark Scoular on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-scoular-39498ba/ Farnham Rugby Club - Website on Twitter @FarnhamRugby and Instagram @farnham_rufc England Rugby Refereeing - https://www.englandrugby.com/participation/refereeing England Rugby Mentoring - https://www.englandrugby.com/participation/mentoring Doddie Aid - https://doddieaid.com/   PODCAST KIT Everything I use to create, edit and produce this podcast can be found on my Creating a Podcast (https://www.amateurrugbypodcast.com/creating-a-podcast/) page.   SUPPORT If you would like to support the podcast in some way then there are plenty of options for you on my Support the Podcast (https://www.amateurrugbypodcast.com/support/) page.
