Coach reviews can be time consuming but are vital in order for your teams and your province to learn and continue to get better. In the guidelines below there is a 5-Step process you could follow with some timelines and ready made questionnaires to use. This is just one way to help you review a coach or team, wish you all the best for your Mitre 10 Cup, Heartland and Rep Campaigns. 52 Coach Educators from across 9 different sports descended on the Rugby & Sport Institute in Palmerston North to sharpen their coach educator skills through friendly practice sessions and review process.
