Each episode features candid conversations with the world’s top international rugby coaches, who share the personal stories and intangible insights behind their winning cultures, and their biggest failures and what they learnt from them. This is where X’s and O’s meet heart and soul.

Ben:

Hi everyone, I'm Ben Herring and I want to welcome you to Coaching Culture with myself. Ben Herring, if you're looking to sharpen your coaching craft by exploring more than just the drills and tactics, you've come to the right place. As coaches, we're often consumed by the X's and O's the skills and drills how to structure plays, perfect the perfect set piece or execute the ideal training session. Through my time in professional rugby, I've learned that success hinges on something deeper the cultures we create. It's about open communication, authentic leadership and forging bonds that hold teams together when the pressure comes on. Every week, we'll sit down with some of the most respected international coaches in the game Legends like Eddie Jones, steve Hansen and many more who'll share their stories, insights and even the stumbles that shape them. Their experiences are a goldmine of lessons on how to connect with players, build trust and cultivate environments where people thrive, both on and off the field.

Ben:

This podcast isn't about me dishing out all the answers. It's about learning from those who've walked the path, uncovering the softer skills that often go overlooked and, in the same time, inspiring each other to become better coaches and better people. So if you believe that rugby coaching goes beyond the scoreboard and into the heart and soul of your team. Join me every Sunday for Coaching Culture with Ben Herring and the guests each week. Together, we'll learn how to build stronger cultures, empower our players and elevate our coaching to a whole new level. Join me then.
