Today on the Bouncebackability Podcast, we speak to John Fletcher, Head of Pathway and Elite Coach Development at Scottish Rugby. John has not found himself in this position by accident. With 10 years heading up England Rugby’s pathway, experiencing the position of Director and Rugby as well as founding The Magic Academy coaching development organisation, John knows a thing or two about the sport.
His passion for rugby stemmed from his experience of playing and coaching younger players, and his 3 sons can vouch for this! When he’s not on the pitch you’ll find him with his wife, children and dog, AKA the Fletcher tribe.
Listen to find out how his passion for making a difference through being different has led him to what he calls his destiny in life.
In this episode:
00:00 How reflecting on formative experiences can shape the future outlook of your team.
10:53 How does self-care fit into resilience? Can you be resilient alone or do you need others?
