Chris Chapman is joined by Ed Coughlan (Sports Science lecturer, Cork Institute of Technology) and Stuart Lancaster (Senior Coach at Leinster Rugby, former Head Coach of England national rugby union team) as they discuss skill acquisition.

Skill development is at the heart of what a coach does – players and athletes go to a coach expecting to improve the sport or activity they’re involved in. So what is the key to that aspect of coaching? From coaching school children completely new to a sport, to working with elite professionals, improving technique and game understanding is always there – and the principles are always the same.

Whatever your role, if you're helping people to be active and improve, we're here for you.
