Level up your coaching
taking your coaching to the next level
Boost your team’s performance with help from one of New Zealand’s most experienced high-level coaching advisors. Lee Smith’s thorough and methodical approach to rugby coaching allows you to lay out the path for your team to reach its potential.
Success and gains are the reward of those who plan – don’t leave your team’s results to chance. Systematic analysis and planning are at the core of the Gainline’s philosophy.
Step by step, Lee’s books guide you to greater skill and strategy in your rugby. His methods have stood the test of time and have been used for many years by national and international rugby teams.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach – each resource is designed so that you can personalise it to your athletes, your team culture, and your sporting context.
