In this episode I speak to newly appointed Australian Wallaroos Coach Jay Tregonning. We discuss the team’s preparation leading into a world cup year and the growth and development of women’s rugby union in Australia. Some of the key takeaways for me were that coaching a national team requires a lot of preparation so managing time around family and fulltime work commitments is really important. Balancing a teaching career with coaching a national team provides some hurdles and Jay has put some positive steps in place to make sure this works for his coaching.
Jay has been open to learning from other key areas in his life and taken lessons as a teacher and applied them to his coaching and vice versa. As a PE teacher he is effectively coaching all the time so refining his skills in the classroom or in the gym to what he is doing on the training paddock has been a great opportunity for him.
Finally, having a growth mindset & not being scared to make mistakes. With limited time & preparation Jay needs to make decisions around selections – does he build cohesion of test new players in the lead up to the world cup. He is comfortable with these hard decisions and knows that success is not on a straight continuum.
If you would like to follow Jay's journey, he is active on Linkedin under his name Jay Tregonning.
