I guess sound technique breeds confidence, leading to a will to get stuck in a bit more. Good tip!Sun, 26 Oct 2008 00:51:31 GMTNieghornhttp://www.betterrugbycoaching.com/rugbyforum/Topic1357-4-1.aspxNieghorn<br>How do we teach a timid player to become more aggressive? It does depend on your definition of aggressive of course, but in my experience, it is a combination of teaching the best technique to try to ensure that bodily damage to the timid one is minimal, because most timidity is a result of fear of consequences - if I do something rough, something rough is going to re-visit me in spades. Teach technically perfect tackling (for example), then wait. One day, when the player is ready - not when you are ready - the tackle will come, and a beatific smile will spread across the young player's face. Aggression in sport comes from within, not when someone else tries to impose it.<br><br>Communication? Ahhh, the great mystery.
