Ep 160 - Alex McKenzie - High Performance Coach Development Manager, NZ Rugby
My guest this week is Alex McKenzie and he is one of the true gems of nz coaching, he is a quiet humble man who I just love connecting with and love how he sees the world.
He lead the Coach Accelerator Programme which is a programme run by HPSNZ to support the growth of High Performance Coaches and more recently has taken up a role with NZ Rugby as High Performance Coach Development Manager for NZ Rugby.
During this chat Alex emphasizes the importance of diversifying coaches' experiences and knowledge base to avoid simply copying and pasting coaching methods.
He believes in the value of asking questions to help coaches think deeply about their coaching and develop a deeper understanding of the skills they are teaching. He also acknowledges the need for a balance between prescription and allowing coaches to figure things out for themselves.
