In this episode, Gordon Pretorius joins The Coach G Show to unpack one of the biggest problems in rugby coaching: players getting overloaded with information and not learning well enough under pressure.

Gordon is a coach and university educator based in the Netherlands, and this conversation sits right at the intersection of rugby, learning, performance, and coach development.

You’ll hear:

  • Why great training does not always lead to great performance
  • How coaches overload players without realizing it
  • Why chaos and unpredictability matter in rugby training
  • How to improve meetings, learning, and retention
  • What working memory means in a rugby context
  • How players can better remember roles, calls, and key actions
  • Smart ways coaches can use AI to improve planning and feedback

This is a practical episode for rugby coaches, players, and anyone trying to build better performance through better learning.

Listen, follow, and share with a coach or player who needs this conversation.
