#38 Andrew Trimble - Rugby Ethos, Leadership & Kairos Communication Platform

The Benas Podcast

"Trimby":

Andrew is a retired Irish Rugby Union player who spent 13 of his pro years playing for the same team at "Ulster" as well twelve years for the Irish National Team. He was part of the "Celtic League" championship team in 2006 as well as winning the "Triple Crown" in 2006 & 2007 and "Six Nations" tournament in 2014 with the Irish National Team next to countless individual awards. Andrew has a wealth of experience in this field as well as a unique and very sobering perspective on the sport.

Today, Andrew and me talked about the vast differences between Rugby Union & Rugby League as well as stumbling over several topics in regards to the mindset and ethos within the Rugby team's locker-room. Andrew also talked about his experience in regards to how Rugby players respect the referees and have a certain way of carrying themselves on the field. We also touched on the coaching philosophy of Rugby coaches and how the relationship with their leaders. At the end we talked about retirement as well as his entrepreneurship and founding "KAIROS", a communication platform that can be used by teams, leagues as well as academies to internally be on the same page.
A different kind of episode with a 'Rugby-Twist', which aids in the understanding of this sport.
