Book Description

September 15, 2005 1930546750 978-1930546752
Every collegiate female rugger should read this book - it will provide a blueprint for: learning the game, fitting rugby into busy schedules, club organization, avoiding injury, and developing a clear sense of personal benchmarks in each players' game.

Readers naïve to women’s rugby will discover the essence of the college game, new players (especially nervous rookies) may discover a blueprint for what to expect and how to succeed, experienced players may discover new clues to mastering this game, and older players who want to morph into coaching, may discover a manual for establishing a successful program. Finally, all readers will discover that in women’s collegiate rugby, teamwork matters more than size, mastering the fundamentals and executing simple, but flawless technique wins games, open communication between players and coaches breeds pride in a program, and attention to conditioning, flexibility, and the hazards of the game reduces the risk and occurrence of injury.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough Drills, October 17, 2007
This review is from: Womens Rugby: Coaching And Playing the Collegiate Game (Paperback)
Its a very basic book. Not so much focused on drills but more so on stretching and the difference between the guys game and the girls game. It was more of an autobiography of the author than a coaching tutorial. I would have liked something that had more drills and game tactics

2.0 out of 5 stars Not advisable, December 29, 2009
This review is from: Womens Rugby: Coaching And Playing the Collegiate Game (Paperback)
This book was very, very, basic. Basically focused on conditioning as injury prevention, but with no real details, just the basic concept that fit players are better players....amazing breakthrough. As a women's coach, I found his reaction to his players injuries a bit sexist as well.

Too specific about what the author's limited experience during a short stint at a small school, where prolongs the short chapters with stories and names of his former players, and even has the audacity to quote himself multiple times, cleverly using his initials or quoting "stan" as opposed to "N. Stanley Nahman."

If you're entirely new to rugby and want some guidance? Google "rugby the rookie primer" by Lisa Gartner, which Nahman recommends in the book.

If you're thinking of buying this book to help you as a coach, look elsewhere. There are plenty of great coaching manuals out there, ones that are advanced enough to do without a glossary for words such as "backs," "Line-out," and "Try."

5.0 out of 5 stars A little gem., September 25, 2005
By 
Mary Lee Hess (Delaware, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Womens Rugby: Coaching And Playing the Collegiate Game (Paperback)
What a little gem of a book! The writing is clear and clever, and a perfect synopsis of women's rugby. For anyone interested in women's sports or who is interested in coaching rugby, this is a must read.
