GRR: Coaching
Iowa Central Community College Rugby has announced that assistant coach Jake Mizell will be leaving to become Head Coach at Arkansas State.
Mizell joined the Tritons in 2018 as the team's forwards and lineout coach and also was a key recruiter—something ASU was looking for.
Longtime and high respected coach Tom Schmitt died suddenly of a heart attack January 13, leaving behind a grieving family and many, many players who held him in high esteem.
Do you coach a team that doesn't have a dedicated Strength and Conditioning coach? Many coaches do, and they do their best, but maybe there's another option?

Mark Bell played for Australia, coached Australia in the scrum, and has coached both the Reds and Waratahs in Super Rugby; he's an expert on the scrum and this is a special podcast.
Paule Barford has been at the forefront of coaching rugby in the USA for decades.
