Mike Friday is one of the most transformative head coaches in USA Rugby history. He took a USA Rugby Sevens team that was poorly performing and had no expectations of making an impact, to one of the most electric teams in the world. After 3 Olympic qualifications, several top 3 finishes in the HSBC Sevens tournament and several elite players that have represented the USA, he retired from the organization. Now that he's stepped down, he speaks on what drove him to coach rugby, where he think the future of the USA Rugby Men's Sevens team is going, and so many tidbits that make you want to see the state of USA Rugby differently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUPPORTED BY ------------------------------------------------------------------------  Health Enhanced Foods (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.HealthEnhancedFoods.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)  Eat bread again without guilt and concern. 10% off your first order with code "RugbySwag"  Rugby Outlet Mall (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.RugbyoutletMall.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)  20% off all GiftTime Rugby and HBCU Rugby Classic merch with promo code, 'GREAUX RUGBY'  Singapore To Tokyo: Anyway We Can (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://Seerugby.vhx.tv⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)  Follow the journey of two men who bike ride through Southeast Asia on their way to the 2019 Rugby World Cup  RSRF Rugby Foundation (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.rsrugbyfoundation.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)  To provide Historically Black Colleges and Universities with the resources they need to develop, grow, and flourish in the game of rugby.

Hosts Dallen Stanford & Robin MacDowell are joined by legend Chris Brown for #RugbyHive Episode 12. Brown is the winner of the Capgemini Coach of the Series Award in 2019 for his role with the USA Women's Eagles, taking them to a Silver Medal finish, their best ever result in history on the HSBC Sevens World Series. Brown started on the Sevens Series years back with Mike Friday taking charge of Kenya, elevating the Africans to their best ever finish on the Series in 2009, placing number 6 on the planet. Brown then moved to America with Friday, spending 4 years with the USA Men's program, turning their results around in dramatic fashion from 13th in the world to 6 in 2018. It was fitting that Mike Friday stood along Chris Brown accepting the Coach of the Series Award in 2019 with the Men's USA Eagles placing 2nd on the Series, playing in all 10 semi finals that season. In this episode we look back to Brown's upbringing that saw him drop out of High School to play for the All Blacks, we track his amazing journey to South Africa, Kenya and eventually the USA. We talk about coaching insights into developing world class programs, how Friday and him took the USA Men to their first tournament win on the Series, how the USA Women finished on the podium, and what an extra year could do for his USA Women's 7s side ahead of the Olympic Games in Japan! We hope you enjoy and follow us on these platforms! Podcast

Mike Friday, Head Coach of the USA Men's National Team in 7s, discusses months of planning to bring the team back together.

Hosts Dallen Stanford & Robin MacDowell are joined by legends Mike Friday and Henry Paul for #RugbyHive Episode 6. Mike Friday is one of the most successful Sevens coaches of all-time. He led England to four consecutive Hong Kong 7s titles (2002-2006), placed 3rd on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in 2005 and 2nd in 2006, with Henry Paul being a standout member of that talented squad, including a Silver Medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Friday then took Kenya from 12th to 5th in the world, their best ever finish in 7s history. More recently he turned potential into podium finishes with Team USA, climbing the ladder from 13th in 2014 to Series runners-up in 2019. His side was the most consistent team on the planet in 2018/2019 playing in all 10 semi finals. Friday will take the USA Eagles for the second time to the Olympic Games, this time it's Japan 2021. The former England 7s captain, is also a two-time winner of the Tetley Cup with London Wasps. Henry Paul has done what many dream of being able to accomplish, play both rugby league and rugby union successfully. So much so that he represented New Zealand in league 24 times from 1995 to 2001, scoring 121 points and playing in two Rugby League World Cups. The following year he debuted for England in union, playing in 6 Tests from 2002 to 2004 and later the Sevens World Series. He has played over 500 professional club matches. In league he won the Challenge Cup at Wembley in London on two occasions and has represented: Wakefield Trinity, Wigan (147 matches, scoring 550 points and winning the Super League Grand Final), Bradford Bulls (100 matches, amassing a remarkable 960 points and winning the Super League Grand Final), Harlequins (63 matches, scoring 240 points). In union he has won the Zurich Premiership and Powergen Cup and has represented: Bath, Gloucester (116 matches, scoring 802 pints), Leeds Carnegie and Rotherham. Paul also won a Silver Medal in 7s at the 2006 Commonwealth Games for England. He has coached Russia in 7s and 15s and is the current Canadian 7s Head Coach preparing for the Olympic Games in Japan. In today's episode we talk about the England 7s program being cut by the RFU in 2020 ahead of the 2021 Olympics. We go down memory lane when Paul played for Friday on the Sevens World Series, as well as how he was able to represent both New Zealand and England. We delve into their coaching journeys, how their programs in USA and Canada are preparing for the Olympic Games and what it's like coaching against each other. What was touring like in the early years? Why is Friday nicknamed Geyser? And why are Russians the friendliest people on earth? We hope you enjoy and follow us on these platforms! Podcast

Mike Friday - Head Coach of the USA 7’s.   Geezer and I have crossed paths in rugby circles in almost every capacity as players, coaches, on the same team and on opposite sides.    Now I have been retired for some time, it is with great clarity that I can say that Mike is the best coach I ever had - a superb mixture of incredibly detailed technical appreciation, motivational skills and the ability to create a culture that bred excellence are just some of the reasons why I rate him so highly.   This interview was recorded in August of 2019 and we had an in-depth chat about the achievements and challenges for USA rugby - both the 7’s and the 15-a-side version of the game.   We got into coaching philosophies and Mike shared some genuine coaching knowledge-bombs. If you are a young or new coach then there is some seriously good advice in this episode for you.   And lastly, we talked about Mike’s amateur club - Bromley RFC where three generations of the family Friday are still involved.    LINKS Mike can be contacted on Instagram @mikefriday09, on Twitter @mikefriday09 or LinkedIn - Mike Friday.

Ladies and Gentleman, we got him. Ben Pinkelman, a dear friend of Logan Collins and I came by Logan’s house (studio) in between his intense training sessions with Gary Gold’s world cup squad. Although he’ll be resting this weekend against Canada, we expect him to see action and potentially his first cap in the following week’s of the PNC. Pinky started by telling us the only reason he came out to play rugby was because he was annoying his mom as a high schooler and she wanted him out of the house. He took up rugby with his cousin Ryan McManus and began playing for Cherry Creek HS. In a short few years he would have HSAA selectors “eating their tongues” as he developed into a high level 7s rugby player by the young age of 18. Pink went straight to playing high level men’s club rugby with the Denver Barbarians and was an intricate part of many Barbo 7s teams that went onto the national tournament (except for his first, where he rode the pine). Pinky would soon be recognized by coaches/selectors Mike Friday and Chris Brown and found himself out in Chula Vista vying for a full-time contract. Long story short, he’s now one of the best international 7s players in the world. He talked about this amazing year and how finishing 2nd in the world has cued them up well for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Oh yeah, and did we mentioned he’s ALSO competing for a spot on the 2019 world cup roster as an uncapped 7s player? The kid can do it all, Ben Pinkelman, king of the 1v1 breakdown. Enjoy, and be sure to PICKEM! Top 3 – Any Players Pinkelman has played 7’s with 1) Perry Baker 2) Folau Niua 3) Stephen Tomasin (Hard No – Logan Collins) Culture: Intro – Born For This – The Score Outro – Middle Child – J.Cole PickEm! Pacific Nations Cup Tonga (-5) vs. Samoa (+5) Japan (+12) vs. Fiji (-12) USA (-14) vs. Canada (+14) Best Player Logan has played with: Timana Tahu Evan Geist scouting report: - has a motor in the breakdown work - dominant in contact - soft hands - decent set piece (lifter)

Steve Tomasin, Star of HSBC 7S World Series Leaders - USA Rugby NEW YORK, NY - As far as we can tell, pigs are not flying. Nor can we confirm that snowballs are being thrown in Hell. Yet, there is one perfectly impossible phenomenon that we have witnessed... USA Rugby's Eagles soaring to the top of the men's HSBC World Sevens World Series table. They've gotten to this here-to-date unfathomable perch via brawn, brains, flash and flair. It's been their remarkably consistent willingness to the do the dirty work and lunch-pail work ethic, however, that has facilitated this stunning reality. And Steve Tomasin epitomizes that work ethic as well as any of Mike Friday & Co.'s circuit-leading Eagles. With that, Tomasin took time out of a very full schedule to speak with our Matt McCarthy re: -His Olympic Dream -Lure of Major League Rugby $$$ -Fast-Twitch skills honed in Baseball & Football -His vote for Best Play Made By An Eagle -Personalities in the Locker Room -His ability to Sing and Dance - and a sample. -The Dallas Cowboys & NY Yankees -Answering in "3rd Person" *Watch or download as a Podcast.
