Our Great Coach on this episode is rugby's Damian McGrath.
Damian started life as a teacher, but then in his words “took a gamble” and moved into professional coaching. He has now coached teams across multiple countries, in both rugby league, Rugby union, as well as Rugby sevens. He has coached at Club level with the Leeds Rhinos in England’s Super League and was England’s Assistant Coach at the 2000 Rugby League World Cup. In 2015 he became Head Coach of the Samoan National 7s team leading them to a Cup success in Paris. He then took over as Head Coach of the Canadian National 7s team leading them to a historic Cup success in Singapore. He also coached national Rugby 7’s teams of Germany and Kenya.
He has just released a new book: Can You Be Fluent In Success?
The highlights are:
- How he uses the play by Thomas Moore, A Man for all season to describe the roles a coach must play.
- The story she he shares about the bass player Herby Flowers who played the famous riff on Lou Reeds son Walk on the wildside. To illustrate how coaches get the most from the options available to them.
- His theory on the doubt percentage and how he uses this to find that little bit extra in people.
- And the idea of a mental highlights reel and how he has used it during his career to fortify his confidence.
