Wellington, New Zealand
I was the Defence Coach for the Wellington Lions in the NPC 2025
I was a selector for the NZ U18s 7s side. I was responsible for the forwards and looking for hybrid players that could cover multiple positions. I was a selector for the NZ U20s 15s side. I was responsible for viewing all the half backs at the Super Rugby tournament held in Taupo. As a selector my key role was to build evidence based information to then rank the top 10 half backs at the tournament and give reasons for the selection and rankings.
I implemented performance strategies for the All Blacks 7s team. Developed tactical understanding with a focus on Kick Offs. This linked into building and highlighting key aspects to set ups and kick strategy. I built an effort model for attack & defence so players could be rated in their off the ball movement and how that related to us winning and losing
I was the Assistant Coach at Bay of Plenty Rugby coaching backs
I was assistant coach for the Bay U19s team in 2019 with responsibility for backs. I also coached the Bay Academy on various essential skills to assist players in their transition into the Bay of Plenty Steamers Team.
