Coaching Sports Needs to Change
Episode 16 - Pay It Forward
Helen Wright is a five-time university national championship rugby coach and has been an influential creator and promotor of women’s rugby in Canada. This podcast is about her views and discussions on how coaching sports needs to change.
Podcast #16 is about the vulnerability of coaches as they grow older in their years and in the game and the value they have to the community of sport. This podcast is taken from a speech that Helen delivered to a masters rugby club, where she encourages masters level players and coaches to continue to provide mentorship and leadership to their communities… ultimately “paying it forward”.
