The Telegraph Rugby podcast will be back on Monday 4th September ahead of the Rugby World Cup. Until then, enjoy another episode of our latest sport podcast.
This episode of the Telegraph Women's Sport podcast takes a look the importance of coaching in sport, from guiding youngsters at the start of their sporting journeys to helping elite athletes as they challenge for trophies and medals.
Sam Quek is joined by three people who know all about the many facets of quality coaching.
Giselle Mather was part of England’s Rugby World Cup-winning squad in 1994, but she's also excelled in the coaching sphere as the first woman to earn the RFU’s Level Four coaching badge. She's has been involved in the set up at London Irish, Wasps and now Ealing Trailfinders.
Willie Kirk was in charge of Hibernian Women when they won trophies in 2010 and 2011, and has worked in the Women’s Super League with Bristol City, Everton and now Leicester. In the season just finished he oversaw a remarkable turnaround as Leicester recovered from having zero points at Christmas to avoid relegation.
And Abbie Johnson, a community cricket coach, who has been coaching since she was 14 at her local club Louth and also works part-time in the county set-up with Lincolnshire. She has continued to coach alongside her studies and caring for her mother while she underwent cancer treatment.
