#162 - David Pattimore - Coaching structure to a township team

Season 5 · Episode 162

Saturday, August 3, 2024 • Duration 45:14

My guest this week is a rugby coach of many teams and England Police RUFC front-rower - Dave Pattimore.

We talked about being a front-row forward, the joy and challenges of playing for England Police, and the differences between coaching kids in the afternoon and experienced adults in the evening.

And we finished by chatting through the England Police tour of South Africa and the rich experiences that Dave had coaching in the townships.

This is a fun, interesting and sometimes deep conversation - I hope you enjoy.

My guest this week is former Harelquins and Worcester winger - Sam Smith.

This interview was recorded in March of 2024 and we talked about Sam’s rapid rise into the pro ranks, the perilous spiral he routinely found himself in when his form dipped, dealing with harsh criticism and living with Joe Marler!
