Geezer and I have crossed paths in rugby circles in almost every capacity as players, coaches, on the same team and on opposite sides. Now I have been retired for some time, it is with great clarity that I can say that Mike is the best coach I ever had - a superb mixture of incredibly detailed technical appreciation, motivational skills and the ability to create a culture that bred excellence are just some of the reasons why I rate him so highly. This interview was recorded in August of 2019 and we had an in-depth chat about the achievements and challenges for USA rugby - both the 7's and the 15-a-side version of the game. We got into coaching philosophies and Mike shared some genuine coaching knowledge-bombs. If you are a young or new coach then there is some seriously good advice in this episode for you. And lastly, we talked about Mike's amateur club - Bromley RFC where three generations of the family Friday are still involved. LINKS Mike can be contacted on Instagram @mikefriday09, on Twitter @mikefriday09 or LinkedIn - Mike Friday.
