Thrilled to be asked by QUT to run the second Bulldog AussieFit program for the year. Great to meet these very energised and motivated men last night at the Kennel. They were very excited to share the Main Oval with Grand Final teams - First Grade, 5th Grade and Colts 1.

Reminder - It is Week ONE for the BJRU Under 10 Development Program tonight for North, South, East and West Regions
And Week ONE for the Under 11 South Region Program.

How lucky 🍀 Another beautiful morning 🤩 at Toowoomba Grammar School for Day 2 of our Confidence in Contact program 💪💪

Great opportunity this morning to coach the Kansas University (USA) Rugby 🏉 Team at the Alleygattor RC on the Gold Coast - on the last leg of their Australian tour. What a pleasure to work with these extraordinary men. The players work ethic and willingness to learn was just so impressive. They were a credit to their Team Management and their University. Safe travels fellas. It was awesome to meet you.

“Confidence in Contact Program”
Awesome 🤩 Day 1 at TGS this morning. Huge thanks and congratulations to all the players (U13 to Open) for their enthusiasm to learn; energy in performance and specifically their respect and understanding manners. All 6 Next Gen coaches were so impressed with the young men from Toowoomba. Looking forward to continuing our Rugby Readiness process next Sunday.

How good - Toowoomba Grammar School have put on a beautiful day for our Coaching staff to run the first of 3 Sunday sessions - “Confidence in Contact”. Over 250 TGS rugby players going through their initial Rugby Readiness requirements prior to the GPS rugby season.

Next Gen Rugby Coaching Clinic: June 24 - 26. Registrations are now OPEN.

ANZAC DAY - April 25, 2024.
It's not often I post anything about my family however after speaking to a mate of mine - I thought this was very appropriate. Most of my friends and colleagues never met my father - Eddie Broad. Dad passed away in 1993. Eddie Broad went to school at TSS and was an outstanding sportsman - in all sports. He went onto excel in Rugby playing for the Wallabies in 1947 - 1949. He then later coached the Queensland Rugby Team. But with the significance of Anzac Day tomorrow, my family remember him for his gallantry as he flew the Lancaster Bomber during WW2. Dad flew 32 sorties over Germany and was rewarded with the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for his heroism under extreme fire and pressure. LEST WE FORGET.
