Extra-Curricular Activities

As an independent Rugby Coach & Ex-Player from Australia I often get asked by individual clubs in cities all around Colombia to assist them with education, training & developing individual skills.
Whenever I have the time I like to travel & run free Rugby training seminars helping those less fortunate or who would not usually get the opportunity to train with someone that has a lot of experience such as myself & share not only my knowledge but my personal experiences as an International Rugby player.
I like to stay on top of my own personal performance by self educating through social media platforms, online courses & officially run courses from Rugby Coaching Academies.
