    Dan Cottrell welcomes Craig Wilson, director of rugby at Yale University and founder of The Contact Coach. Together, they explore practical, accessible approaches to video analysis for grassroots coaches.

    Craig shares personal experiences of using simple tools—smartphones, clipboards, and a bit of creativity—to make analysis both effective and manageable, even without high-end tech.

    The conversation covers:

    • Using footage to boost players’ confidence,
    • Balancing critical and positive feedback,
    • And how to avoid overwhelming players (or yourself!) with too much information.

    Find lots of takeaway ideas you can use immediately without the need for expensive equipment or complex software.
