Want a practical playbook for winning schoolboy rugby programs? In this Coaching Culture episode, Ben Herring sits down with Sean Graham, Director of Rugby at St Joseph’s Nudgee College in Brisbane, to unpack how Nudgee builds connection, care, and consistent performance across 39 teams and 800+ players. You will learn how to hire and support coaches, set standards without cutting corners, give individual feedback and feed forward, manage selection conversations, collaborate with parents, and design engaging youth rugby training that players are excited to attend.

Sean shares proven systems from 11 years in the role and the Youth Rugby Coaches Forum he founded, covering culture, communication, age-appropriate coaching, and how to turn constraints into competitive advantage. If you coach schoolboy or grassroots rugby in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, or anywhere, this is your blueprint.

What you’ll learn:

Culture that lasts: care, connection, and daily standards

Coach recruitment: work ethic and growth mindset as non-negotiables

Training design: captivate attention, increase engagement, measure impact

Feedback that sticks: simple tools to coach the individual every session
