Build Trust, Keep Training Fun, and Develop Players Who Actually Want to Be There With Amy Turner

Amy Turner won 7 Six Nations Grand Slams and earned 3 World Cup selections as an England international. She then went on to coach at every level of the game, from school rugby to the Premiership men's programme at Harlequins and England u20s.
Her approach to developing players looks different from most. And in this episode, she explains exactly why.
Amy shares how to use games to build real rugby skills, why training doesn't always have to look like rugby, and how the best coaches build trust and keep players coming back week after week.
