161 How to Create a Culture of High Performance in Professional Rugby Union

161 How to Create a Culture of High Performance in Professional Rugby Union

In episode #161 I chat with Author, Coach Educator and Performance Rugby Consultant, Paul Phillips. We discuss his experiences of developing high performance cultures in professional rugby. Paul also shares some research on tackling and how to overcome fears with helpful triggers as well as other fascinating insights.

Key Learning Points:

  • In Rugby at the lower levels fear is very prominent.
  • Establishing values and behaviours that are coupled with a vision for the team and club is an essential part of culture development.
  • Why can't we generate behaviours before thoughts and emotions?
  • James Clear's two-minute rule in the book Atomic Habits is a good way to start to develop habitual behaviours.
  • The size of the opponent in rugby can be a big factor in activating fear.
  • Visual, kinaesthetic and auditory cues and triggers are helpful in dealing with fear when tackling.
  • Using metaphors such as images of animals or superhero's is a helpful trigger for adults and children.
  • The development of positive relationships between players and coaches is a hallmark of high performing teams.
  • Extrinsic environments are rife largely down to the way messages are communicated from senior staff and coaches in clubs and organisations.
  • Too much focus on external factors results in lower emotional control.
