Thousands of players and coaches around the globe have benefited from the concepts and methods in these books, equipping them with the coaching skills and strategy to play the very best in fifteen-a-side rugby.\u003ci\u003eTotal Rugby\u003c\/i\u003e has become one of the game''s most seminal coaching manuals - it highlights inspirational rugby coach Jim Greenwood''s radical examination of every facet of the game and his ability to clearly convey the wealth of knowledge he accumulated over many years in the sport.It is the antithesis of play-safe rugby - an open, ebullient game in which every player is encouraged to show what he can do as an attacker, defender and supporting player.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's still the only rugby coaching book I regularly refer to ... In my opinion, this book is unrivalled – it sets out to give detailed solutions to coaching problems. It asks for technical excellence, without letting small mistakes slip by – demanding thorough preparation and attention to detail. -- Sir Clive Woodward, Rugby World Cup Winning England Head Coach\u003cbr\u003eI don’t feel I’d started coaching properly until I’d read Jim Greenwood. -- Ian McGeechan OBE, former British Lions Coach\u003cbr\u003eIt took maybe 20 minutes t recognise that Jim's way of coaching was the most effective I'd come across. I was an All Black then, and when I became the All Blacks coach I was into his methods, helped by his books. I still turn to them and highly recommend them.' -- Wayne Smith, former All Blacks backs coach and Northampton Saints coach\u003cbr\u003eJim Greenwood remains the most important influence in my career. He was ahead of his time in every respect … without him women’s rugby in the UK would not have been the same. -- Lisa Burgess, Wales Assistant Coach and former Welsh captain\u003cbr\u003eJim Greenwood’s books are my inspiration; they are my “bible”. -- Bill Freeman, former Director of Coaching, NZ Rugby Football Union\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword  Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e    \u003cb\u003ePART 1 TOTAL RUGBY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT\u003c\/b\u003e The Meaning of Total Rugby Implications of Total Rugby for the Coach Implications of Open Rugby for the Club The Coach’s Responsibility to Rugby  \u003cb\u003ePART 2 UNDERSTANDING THE GAME - ATTACK AND DEFENCE\u003c\/b\u003e Understanding the Game Principles of Attack Principles of Defence  \u003cb\u003ePART 3 PRACTICAL COACHING\u003c\/b\u003e Coaching with Purpose Team Selection Coaching Methods Exercise Forms Pressure Practices Coaching Sessions Information Technology Coach Recruitment  \u003cb\u003ePART 4 THE INNER GAME OF RUGBY\u003c\/b\u003e Mobilising the Team  Evolving a Game Plan Tactical Guide-lines  \u003cb\u003ePART 5 BASIC PREPARATION - TECHNICAL\u003c\/b\u003e Personal Skills  Unit Techniques – The Forwards  Unit Techniques – The Backs Team Defence  Varieties of Team Practice    \u003cb\u003ePART 6 BASIC PREPARATION - PHYSICAL\u003c\/b\u003e Fitness for Rugby  \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019909955927,"sku":"9781472918710","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781472918710.jpg?v=1750781693","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rugby-classics-total-rugby-9781472918710","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
