Plus, it would be good to explore some other great ways to scaffold our players’ learning.For me, this pod helped embed better practice in my own mind, as well as clear up some of my misconceptions around the processes involved.In the podcast we talked about:The similarities and differences between classroom learning and on-the-field learning.What is meant by scaffolding?Ten different methods, and works well when?How coaches might use scaffolding in different situations.Follow Nick on Twitter@MrNickHartand his blogthisismyclassroom.wordpress.com

Dan Cottrell invites Dave Sharkey, Ged Hall and Edd Conway to say how they would use Doug Lemov's latest book, The Coach's Guide to Teaching in their own environments.Bestselling author and teaching guru Doug has drawn on his vast practical classroom experience to see he can help coaches produce better players. The panel discusses their main takeaways from the book in the context of their own coaching.The main areas covered are:Decision makingPractice designFeedbackThe book is enormously rich in stories, practical examples, sourced from people like Wayne Smith, Nick Winkleman, Dave Hadfield, Johan Cruyff, Steve Kerr and Pete Carroll.Click here to buy a copy of the book.Here's the book blurb.The mark of a great coach is a constant desire to learn and grow. A hunger to use whatever can make them better. The best-selling author of Teach Like a Champion and Reading Reconsidered brings his considerable knowledge about the science of classroom teaching to the sports coaching world to create championship caliber coaches on the court and field. What great classroom teachers do is relevant to coaches in profound ways. After all, coaches are at their core teachers. Lemov knows that coaches face many of the same challenges found in the classroom, so the science of learning applies equally to them. Unfortunately, coaches and organizations have a mixed level of understanding of the research and study of the science of learning. Sometimes coaches and organizations build their teaching on myths and platitudes more than science. Sometimes there isn't any science applied at all. While there are thousands of books and websites a coach can consult to better understand technical and tactical aspects of the game, there is nothing for a coach to consult that explicitly examines the teaching problems on the field, the court, the rink, and the diamond. Until now. Intended to offer lessons and guidance that are applicable to coaches of any sporting endeavor including everyone from parent volunteers to professional coaches and private trainers, Lemov brings the powerful science of learning to the arena of sports coaching to create the next generation of championship caliber coaches.

I chatted to Dan Cottrell about the widespread negativity towards the recent top-level rugby matches we've been witnessing in the northern hemisphere. Is the game broken, are there irreparable cracks or do we just need to adjust our lenses?

Dan Cottrell caught up with Jonny McMurtry of coachingthecoaches.net to talk about his current research. Having been involved in high-performance age-grade rugby programs across Australia for nearly 10 years, he is currently completing research in conjunction with the University of Queensland and Rugby Australia, looking at age-grade player's engagement and understanding what motivates, engages and drives players' participation.In the podcast, they explore some of his findings and align it to coaching. They pick out how individuals can sit within a team structure, what makes for a happy player in a high-pressured environment and why conversations have different outcomes depending on which position is played.Drawing on their own lived experiences, Dan and Jonny delve into motivation and coaching styles.Jonny is an experienced rugby coach and NLP practitioner. He has worked extensively with the ARU to develop coaching and player experiences.If you want to contact him directly, his email is jonny@coachingthecoaches.net.

In our first ever EightyPercentMental Sidecast, Dr Pete and Hugh take over the Rugby Coach Weekly podcast. You don’t have to be into rugby to enjoy this one though! Hugh is asking the questions, while Pete, and guests, Ross Shand and Dr Andrew Wood discuss how they would solve real-life problems. The catch? They don’t know what the questions are going to be, and they each have to give a different answer, based on their knowledge, experience, and ability to make things up quickly.How did we come up with this great idea? We didn't. Dan Cottrell from Rugby Coach Weekly runs this same “Haunted House” process with coaches - a great way to challenge and develop practice – so we teamed up, and this EPM Sidecast is the result. Enjoy - and then go check out the RCW podcast!Rugby Coach Weekly podcast on Twitter: @RugbyCoachWeekRoss Shand on Twitter: @RossShandDr Andrew Wood on Twitter: @Woodington89Dan Cottrell on Twitter: @Dan_Cottrell

What have you cut from your coaching diet and what's replaced it?Return to contact...what does this look like for your teams?What do you think rugby will look like come September...Three links mentioned in the podcast:The Roundup Rodeo: Reviews of podcasts and webinars with Phil LlewellynDave Sharkey: The power of storiesThe Magic Academy: A huge catalogue of interviews with a wide range of top coaches

Lynn Evans is my guest this week. Without doubt this episode is the one that has been most looked forward to by you. I’ve been receiving messages for months asking when it was due to air and just this week, Dan Cottrell said "Wow, what a guest. One of the original thinkers. Games in training owe a massive debt to this guy” and Russell Earnshaw described Lynn simply as a “Hero". This interview was recorded in January of 2020 and Lynn took me on a lovely journey through his life from growing up as a boy in Wales, joining the RAF, playing for Oxford and Oxfordshire in the County Championship. We then went deep into his love of coaching and his two major coaching influences Chalkie White and Pierre Villepreux. I found Lynn delightful and engaging and if I have half of his energy when I’m in my 80’s I will be incredibly grateful.

Dr Suzanne Brown explains to Dan Cottrell how to understand the way players' minds work so you can coach them more effectively

With a number of international front-rowers only starting their trade after the age of 16, is their case to change the way we coach scrummaging? Dan Cottrell asks former front rower and coach developer Ian Diddams whether the scrum is relevant before 16 and if we shouldn’t actually spend more time on other skills.

The Southern Hemisphere’s top competition is stunning to watch. But we can do more to replicate that with our own training? Dan Cottrell talks to the experienced academy coach George Tavner who works with the some of the best young players in the English system, from ages 13 upwards. He says that: Super Rugby is a fantastic spectacle and we can always learn from it.The UK game is different, and explains why.The move towards game-based training is making players more skillful and better decision-makers.We still need to balance skills training, but can do it with better organisation and less stoppages in training. Listen to his methods and thoughts on how you can improve your players’ training diet.

Dan Cottrell talks to experienced Australian U13s James Stevens about the new size and ability limits in his country’s youth rugby. James was part of the pilot scheme and he describes how the system:Works for the many, not the fewBenefits young playersChallenges coaches to focus on skillsWill be a challenge to some teams

He has been writing and discussing coaching for over a decade as the editor of Rugby Coach Weekly, an online magazine for rugby coaches which has allowed him to learn from some of the game's best practitioners. Dan came to the podcast with a specific question about the best way to coach kids when there is an element of safety that needs to be attended to. Needless to say...we didn't stay entirely on topic but the conversation was richer for it. In the podcast we cover...- Why Dan believes that children shouldn't play organised sport younger than age 10- How he uses 'free time' to enable children to truly 'play' without adult intervention- How he uses games to let children learn key movements - Intervention strategies to guide learning and ensure safety- Insights from some of the worlds best coaches and coach developersThis is a conversation rich with information for those trying to improve what they do on a weekend with youngsters as well as having significant implications for those working in talent environments. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
