Description
Dan speaks to coaches Mike Pope and Rhys Williams about how they've used what they've learned from reading Doug Lemov's book: A Coach's Guide to Teaching. Here are some of Doug's thoughts after listening to the podcast (more notes on the Rugby Coach Weekly website): Until it comes unprompted when we aren’t reminded to think about it, we probably haven’t learned it.“Interleaving is always with something you’ve already talked about.” Hugely important clarification for coaches that I hadn’t thought to make… though I will now.Here are the key areas Dan, Rhys and Mike discussed: Rhys's six week plans: how they work in the context of what he took from the bookUsing feedback more effectively: examples, scenarios and maintaining flow in the session. Plus shortening the feedback loopHow interleaving makes learning stickHow the Forgetting Curve works for rugby playersTough feedback which creates pressureDesirable difficulty in trainingRhys is a youth rugby coach, plus works with Saracens DPP. Mike is a school's head of rugby , senior mens coach, plus a lead coach with Bath DPP.
