[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 926550, member: 13611"] I know nothing about Tiffany Faaee but hope she's a massive success as coach and it breaks down a barrier in coaching of men's sport. It would be great to get to a point where we aren't noting somebody's gender and merely referred to them as the best coaches regardless. As a more general point, using Irish rugby as an example, the most successful recent coaches here have been Eddie O'Sullivan (loathe as I am to admit it), Declan Kidney, Joe Schmidt and Stuart Lancaster. All have a background in teaching. I don't have stats to hand but I'd guess that more than 50% of school teachers are women. If the best coaches come from teaching backgrounds surely there are a hell of a lot of women in that profession who could be of value to coaching in rugby. [/QUOTE]
