I am proud to introduce to you a series of specialist defense techniques compiled together by me to meet the specific needs of all junior,senior & graded NRL clubs.Player development is essential for NRL players to know, their safety is the league’s responsibility to train and educate how to fall,roll & of course tackle safely.

My personal services have been the bench mark for several Carlton clubs on the south coast,teams benefiting from my program are were thirroual butchers,(who went on to the grand final 05 & 06) Port-kembla who went on to 2 grand finals 09&10) and more recently the St George Illawarra dragons who had some players take part in my program who are now grand finalist and have the best defensive record in the NRL, what they learn t obviously filtered back down to the other players. 

I now have a new updated L1 online course developed for effective methods of tackling and drills. For any coach or club that wishes to take part please let me know. 0412729938

My program is simple and a must for developing player techniques in rolls,falls & take-down this has proven to reduce the risk of injury.I have been throwing players on their back for 35yrs at National & international level even making the Olympic team as a reserve.I have also played NRL so i know what you want and need.

My job is to re-educate your players in their defensive techniques to minimize injury,slow the play down & most importantly winning the game. We also understand that sponsors needs to achieve at such levels must be met. 

My style of training athletes to use hip pivots,roll,fall & use specialised take-downs has improved the defensive game & lifted it to new heights.We provide complete education and practical training for hit/stick/wrestling the players to the ground

AIMS FOR PLAYER DEVELOPMENT IN DEFENSIVE METHODS & COUNTER PLAY

1. Methods of take down techniques as a form of tackling (shoulder control).
2. Methods of in slowing down the play.
3. Learning wrap around take downs that save tries.
4. Methods of hip pivots used to slow the opposition whilst your defensive line is getting ready.

• Giving away penalties
• lacking self confidence in ones ability to deliver & motivation
