Frequently Asked Questions
Why Rugby?
Why not? We live in an age where everyone is afraid to be who they are. Rugby allows for an individual to find themselves through physical contact, comradary, and challenges through the mind and body.
I have never played before!?
That's my joy of coaching!! I get to find the best way to help you as a new player to learn to love, enjoy and succeed in RUGBY! Don't be shy, I'm not the coach to yell and scream, I'm hear to help you find the everlasting fulfillment of the game!
What are the three Pillars?
ACCOUNTABILITY - OWNERSHIP - TRUST:
This is the foundation used with a world class rugby organization I highly respect.
Accountability - an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions
Ownership - being accountable for a department, project, initiative, etc.,—whatever is being “owned.” It means that the owner is the person who takes responsibility for any shortcomings, even if they aren't necessarily his or her own personal fault
Trust - 1a: assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something
1b: one in which confidence is placed
For high-performance organizations, there’s a strong link between athletes who take ownership, having a culture of accountability, and having a high trust workplace. All three are critical to embed into the culture and values of an organization.
Being accountable is about being responsible for the result. Ownership is about initiative, accountability is about follow-through. It's not just about the individual and their goals or commitments, it's about acknowledging that your actions affect other team members' abilities to accomplish their goals.
What is needed to play rugby?
To be brutally honest some cultures play barefoot and the clothes on their backs. But for the sake of High School Rugby......We are looking for cleats (either Soccer or Football) and I'd suggest tight fitting clothing i.e. compress shirts and short's that are short and tight. Why you ask? Because it less of an object for your opponent to pull you down with!
