TESTIMONIALS
My aim with coaching is to make a difference in a players or teams experience. Here are a few players and parents testimonials who I have coached over the past 5 years.
BEN RITSON
1ST XV
BRIDGNORTH RFC
“I’ve been working with Rob for about 4 years now and each time I do a session with him I always pick up something new to benefit my game, especially in kicking. Whether it’s kicking at goal, out of hand or even box kicks, Rob’s knowledge and skill is unmatched.
Working with Rob has completely transformed my kicking technique and my confidence when it comes to kicking in game. His expertise in mechanics and precision has helped me and my kicking to reach new heights, enabling me to perform consistently under pressure.
Rob brings a personalised approach to his kicking sessions, identifying your strengths and areas of improvement whilst constantly supporting you and motivating you. The advantage of having Rob in your training corner is class, he knows what it’s like to be at the highest level and can guide you along the right path to be the best you can be.
Rob’s video analysis after every session helps you go into greater detail and pick out the finer margins which over a period of time can have a drastic impact on your performance overall. He’s a great bloke and I always look forward to his kicking sessions because I know I’m going to benefit from it and have a good time with my mate.“

SIMON, JOSH'S DAD
​​"Rob’s experience, passion and knowledge of rugby shines through every session he runs. He has the rare quality of being likeable, and approachable in equal measure, allowing him to build an instant rapport with his players, regardless of their age or ability. He instantly put Josh at ease, building his sessions around his specific needs by concentrating on growing his rugby confidence whilst cementing his progress with the core pillars of technique, improving skills and setting achievable goals.
As a young full back Josh set himself the pre-season goal of becoming a better all round player, particularly with the ball in hand, which he feels he has accomplished thanks to Rob’s programme and guidance. Kicking has always been something of a dark art to Josh, with real difficultly finding the right kicking technique, from hand or tee.
Focused one on one guidance, video analysis and a constant positive can do attitude from Rob has helped Josh immensely. Josh can’t wait to work with Rob again and is entering the next chapter of his fledgling rugby career with renewed excitement and vigour."

I've been attending Rob’s kicking coaching now for approximately 3 seasons. During this time I find the booking process and the clear communication really practical.
My reason for attending was my playing position was not established, but with coaching to kick out of hand and place kicking this added to my skill set.
I find Rob very approachable and understanding of your needs. He soon evaluated my strengths. The practical side is made enjoyable which gives me confidence. He gives you his full attention and helps you with the full process, before you kick, method and after the ball is struck. During the coaching session’s Rob films your kicking and you receive a video with an explanation as to what went well and help for improvement.
My kicking at goal success rate has greatly improved and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this course to rugby players of any age, position and experience.
