Warren Gatland will be the British & Irish Lions coach as they embark on their tour of New Zealand this summer. In an interview with David Flatman this week, it was interesting to hear Gatland’s philosophy on what makes a successful team. For him, getting things right off the pitch for the players is essential to ensuring a strong performance on it. Keeping them busy, challenged and ensuring their overall happiness are all priorities for the Lions’ coach.
The same principles can be applied at Moulsford. The boys spend a good deal of time in the classroom, but much of their day is spent outside of lessons, whether this be during break times, rehearsals, games or lunch. Creating the right environment in these areas of school life will ensure that, like the Lions, the boys are busy, challenged and happy. If we can achieve this, we will then see the knock-on positive effects in the classroom.
