Dave Ellis - The Role of the Skills Coach

In this weeks episode of the coach doctor podcast I speak with Dave Ellis. Dave is a New Zealand based rugby coach who has had experience coaching with the Blues in Super Rugby, Connacht in the PRO 14 Competition, the Bristal Bears in the English Premiership as well as many other clubs throughout the world. Dave is a coach who loves to share and presents his coaching ideas via webinars on his website EllisRugby.co.nz and is also a coach educator with IRANZ – International Rugby Academy of New Zealand. Traditionally a skills coach I talk to Dave about how the skills coach works with the head coach and how we prioritise skill development in a game like rugby. We also discuss some of Dave’s exciting left field coaching strategies and how he has adapted ideas from other sports and put them into his rugby coaching.
