@BrotherBear: ek dink die level 3 is maar n duur storie en vat baie tyd ,meeste skole afrigters is nog voltyds onnie ook en moet afrigting en skoolhou balanseer….nie maklik nie dink ek
@Smallies: ek giggle ook nou lekker oor jou voorbeeld. Ek weet ook van manne wat kwansuis ‘n reputasie opgebou het op die rug van ‘n goeie span wat hulle vir ‘n paar jaar afgerig het. Seuns het baie keer meer rugby-sense as afrigter. Stem saam met jou voorstelling. Ons het dan meer manne/vroue nodig met “ability” of aanvoeling. Hulle is daar buite – kan wraggies nie so min wees. Hoekom kom hulle nie deur nie?
@BrotherBear: Ek dink level 3 is gereserveer vir afrigters wat hulle reeds as goeie afrigters gevestig het,en dis n baie goeie ding
Coaching ability moet altyd bokand coaching credentials gestel word.
Alistair Coetzee is n baie goeie voorbeeld van baie hoë coaching credentials,maar zero ability….
@Beet: I wonder what the reason would be to make level 3 so exclusive?
Surely it is in the interest of the sport and all those surrounding it, to have as many level 3 and level 2 coaches as possible? I cannot believe it is a cognitive block. If it is experience or “time exposure at certain levels” (high school, semi-pro, provincial or national) then they could always but subdivisions to level 3. It can be argued that some challenges and complexities at schoolboy level is above those required at the professional level.
@Beet: Afaik IRB 3 is by invitation only in SA.
Ek sien Sean Erasmus is besig om ordentlik naam te maak vir homself.
Apparently the Level 3 is seriously difficult course to get accepted for. They invite 1 coach per year from small unions and maybe 2 per year. Then the drop out rate is quite high and at the end of the process not all who make it gain accreditation. So its a very difficult course and very exclusive.
Mzeke Nkosi still at KES? I heard, apart from his SA Schools commitments, that he spends most of his coaching time at the Lions. He is one of the real up-and-comers earmarked for higher responsibilities so surely at some point his ties at SBR level will reduce?
