Russell Earnshaw, former English rugby player and co-founder of the Magic Academy, joined us in our latest webinar to share his innovative approach to learning that involves making learning more relatable to the digital world that youth are exposed to.
"I'm curious about and obsessed with helping people...," Rusty says. "I want to better understand how individuals and teams exceed their dreams, how learning environments are nurtured and what might be possible for us all in the future. How can people live the story they want."
During the webinar Rusty covered:
- Learning environments
- Practice design
- Coaching craft – coaching individuals (making it individual), co-coaching
- Gamification – principles to take games-based training to the next level
Watch the full recording:
Connecting with people, starting with the end in mind, and understanding that coaching is completely contextual are three of the key themes Rusty shared during the webinar. He said it's important for coaches to recognise that an athlete's decision-making often reflects our behaviours as coaches - our language.
