When Coaching Goes Wrong

Fail Smart and Fail Fast as a Rugby Coach | Riaan Van Straten

Craig Wilson (The Contact Coach) Season 1 Episode 1

Riaan Van Straten was a great guest for the first-ever When Coaching Goes Wrong podcast. Riaan discusses how failure has helped shape his coaching and the tools that he uses to turn failures into a positive. 

Riaan played professionally and has been working in coaching and rugby development for the past 21 years. His philosophy is to not only create great rugby players but also to create successful young people who can make a difference in the world. Rugby is not just a game, it's a way of life for him.

Riaan has coached at all levels of the game including high school in South Africa, Cheetahs academy and more recently coaching professionally in Russia which is where he is now. Not only that, he runs his own coaching consultancy, rugby Coaching 101.
