Rugby Coach Weekly Asking the best questions of other coaches
Dan Cottrell catches up with John Widdowson, described by Phil Llewellyn as the coach observer he is most scared of...in a good way.
John is a Match Official Development Officer for the RFU. He is a RFU level 4 coaching qualification and has been a pathway coach and age-grade coach. He is also a World Rugby Trainer/RFU Senior Developer/ Mentor delivering a full range of CPD Coach/Referee education courses and support services. And he is currently a PhD student with the University of Edinburgh.
We discussed the following areas:
- What does the Match Official Development exactly do?
- What can coaches do better in their interactions with referees?
- What makes John's questions so "scary"?
- What can we do more efficiently on our coaching courses?
- What's the PhD research and how can we help?
