Curious Coaches’ Club (EP 6): Coaching Using Games

June 04, 2020

Jack Rolfe, founder of The Coaching Lab, and Darren Lamon, Academy Coach Development Officer and Head of Women’s Rugby at Sale Sharks, join the Club to discuss the use of games principles in coaching.


It’s the question we possibly get asked most as coaches and leaders of sport and physical activity: 'but really, when are we going to play a game?'. In this session, Jack and Darren navigate the use of games principles in coaching. They explore supporting players to explore and learn, encouraging creative thinking and problem-solving, and creating environments for players to grow individually.
