Mike Friday - Head Coach of the USA 7’s.
Geezer and I have crossed paths in rugby circles in almost
every capacity as players, coaches, on the same team and on
opposite sides.
Now I have been retired for some time, it is with great
clarity that I can say that Mike is the best coach I ever had - a
superb mixture of incredibly detailed technical appreciation,
motivational skills and the ability to create a culture that bred
excellence are just some of the reasons why I rate him so
highly.
This interview was recorded in August of 2019 and we had an
in-depth chat about the achievements and challenges for USA rugby -
both the 7’s and the 15-a-side version of the game.
We got into coaching philosophies and Mike shared some genuine
coaching knowledge-bombs. If you are a young or new coach then
there is some seriously good advice in this episode for you.
And lastly, we talked about Mike’s amateur club - Bromley RFC
where three generations of the family Friday are still
involved.
