Description

Brilliant Masterclass from Coach David Baird tonight on Developing Tarzan.

The core message was that players cannot thrive in a competitive environment if they are trained in an artificial one, using the analogy of Tarzan not surviving in the jungle if he were raised in a zoo to paint the picture.

Thought-provoking stuff as usual from David, laced with lots of practical advice for coaches.

Key Topics

• The “Developing Tarzan” concept
• Why artificial training environments don’t prepare players for competition
• Creating realistic, competitive training environments
• Practical advice for implementing these principles
