About Koti

Why train with me?
I am a dedicated rugby coach with over two decades of experience playing at a high performance level. My goal is to help you build the confidence and skills you need to succeed on the field. I focus on safe technique, clear communication, and professional reliability.

I know that every player is different. Whether you are a beginner learning to tackle safely or an experienced player aiming for a representative team, I provide a supportive and organized environment to help you improve.

Rugby is more than just a game—it’s about discipline and teamwork. I take my role as a mentor seriously and am committed to helping you reach your goals while making sure you enjoy the process.

My coaching philosophy and session structure
I believe that rugby excellence is built on a foundation of strong core skills combined with a deep understanding of game intelligence. My approach is student-centered; I don’t believe in a "one size fits all" drill. Instead, I analyze each player’s current technique and tailor my feedback to their specific body type, position, and goals.

My methodology follows a three-step process:

Technical breakdown: We start by slowing down specific movements (such as the catch-pass or tackle entry) to ensure the mechanics are safe and efficient.

Pressure testing: Once the technique is sound, we introduce "game-like" pressure or fatigue to ensure the skill holds up during a match.

Video feedback: Where helpful, I use brief video analysis during the session so the student can see their own body positioning in real-time.

Lesson format and duration
A typical session lasts 60 minutes, though I can offer 90-minute intensive sessions for those looking to work on both fitness and technical skills. Every lesson begins with a rugby-specific dynamic warm-up and ends with a brief review and "homework" goals to work on before our next meeting.

My experience and qualifications
I bring years of experience as both a player and a coach. Having played at a representative level, I understand the physical and mental demands of the modern game.

I am a certified World Rugby (Level 3) and Coaching Educator where I have spent the last decade helping athletes refine their game, from school-age beginners to competitive club players.

Who I teach
My lessons are designed for anyone looking to elevate their performance:

Juniors (Ages 7–12): Focusing on the "fun-damentals," safety in contact, and hand-eye coordination.

Secondary school students: Aiming for First XV selection or representative honors, with a focus on positional specifics and tactical awareness.

Adult beginners: For those new to the sport who want to build confidence and basic skills in a supportive environment.

Personalised planning: Every session is planned in advance based on your specific goals and progress.
