Topics Covered: 1. Lesley's Rugby Background: • Started playing rugby at the University of British Columbia after exploring other sports. • Played for Canada's national team, including two Rugby World Cups (2006 and 2010). • Transitioned to coaching through volunteer opportunities and worked in rugby development roles in New Zealand before becoming Japan's head coach in 2019. 2.

Women's International Rugby Landscape: • There has been a rapid rise in the professionalism and resources allocated to women's rugby, especially in leading nations like England. • This growing competitiveness poses challenges for smaller nations like Japan, but also creates opportunities for exciting rugby innovations, including faster-paced play styles. 5. Advice for Coaches: • Don't feel overwhelmed by the flood of information; focus on the lessons that resonate most with your own coaching style. • Keep messaging simple and direct to avoid overcomplicating instructions. • Stay confident in your coaching abilities while remaining open to new ideas and continuous learning. worldrugbyshop.com rugbynorcal.org

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.

And it will only get hotter, when a loaded Scotland team squares off vs Team USA, here in the nation's capital. And while the MLR may be off before resuming with Round 1 of their postseason, their teams are still impacted. One such team is the NOLA Gold, and Head Coach Corey Brown talks about the break vs preparing for the playoffs.
