Join Dan Cottrell on the Rugby Coach Weekly podcast as he dives into a compelling conversation with Stuart Armstrong, renowned coach developer and host of The Talent Equation podcast. 

Together, they tackle the nuanced topic of ethical coaching—what it means, why it matters, and how it can transform both grassroots and elite coaching environments. With insights drawn from Stuart’s extensive experience in sports development and hands-on coaching experience, this episode explores the practical and philosophical dilemmas coaches face daily, from balancing inclusivity to navigating moral decision-making in competitive settings.

Some of the key points:

  • Ethical coaching ensures positive experiences for all by addressing dilemmas like inclusion vs. performance. 
  • Coaches need ongoing support, not just training, through mentorship and peer learning. 
  • Inclusivity, transparent communication, and harm prevention are vital. 
  • Governing bodies must shift focus to practical, in-situ development, valuing coaching as part of the care industry.
