Damian McGrath learned more than a few life lessons in coaching the Canadian, Samoan, German and Kenyan rugby sevens teams.
The veteran English coach shares some of those learnings in his book,"Can You Be Fluent in Success?" which is subtitled"A fresh perspective on business coaching through the lens of an international rugby leader."
"So I was trying to make some notes and it just got me started. I had plenty of time on my hands so I started to write down the lessons I've learned the experiences I had and tried to put them into a story." While coach of Samoa and trying to land two trainee police officers for his Commonwealth Games team, McGrath had to buy two cows from their commanding officer to secure their release.
"It was a quick reminder of making sure you understand people's lives before you judge them," he adds. "It was a tough time, as my wife and I had established a good life there, we were settled and the team had been successful," he writes.
