Dan Cottrell speaks to Inside Running Academy boss, Mike Rogers. Mike, who's just finished a season in the US MLR with the New England Free Jacks talks openly about his experience coaching in both his homeland of New Zealand and the States.

There is a very moving passage where we discuss vulnerability and authenticity. Mike's message about his relationship with rugby and his family will strike many chords with coaches.

Here's what else we chatted about:

  • Why we need to coach players to tackle higher, not lower
  • The benefits of ball stripping in the tackle
  • Reviewing players more effectively
  • Life balance for a coach
  • How we share as coaches
  • What can businesses learn from rugby and vice versa?


Inside Running are about to run their next amazing Coach Learning, number seven in the series.
