Usually people start at the begining. But there is too much to cover, so bear with me as I will tend to jump around.
So the picture is where this will all start. On Saturday 24 April 2010 the Winchester Under 19 team recorded it's first victory!
The Under 19 Team was formed three years ago. Now, before all of you armchair coaches start saying, "Wow, you must suck!" Think of this...
These young men have not grown up in a "rugby culture". Imagine being right handed all of your life and then someone showing up trying to teach you to write caligraphy with your left hand, and oh by the way; there is going to be a contest in three weeks, and one after that the next week and so on!
So how do you change their mind set? Time, adversity and effort. Lots in equal parts, sometimes...
