Coaching Bio
I am a professional rugby player who has represented the Queensland Reds for 8 seasons (6 as captain) as well as captaining the Wallabies. I am a student of the game, a Brisbane Junior Rugby Union (BJRU) Ambassador and am passionate about growing rugby through passing on knowledge and experiences to young athletes.
I grew up with a love of rugby, having watched it for as long as I remember, and started playing when I was 6 years old. This passion has eventuated into a career, where I have represented and captained Australia playing for the Wallabies, and have been playing for the Queensland Reds for eight seasons (six of them as captain). When I have suffered injuries, I have been fortunate enough to be able to work closely alongside coaches like Brad Thorn, Jim McKay, Les Kiss, Zane Hilton, and others, learning the intricate nature of what it takes to coach at a professional level. I am a student of the game and want to keep learning, and passing this knowledge on to the next generation. I also now have my Community Coach certificate. As a player, I have the unique insight into developing and calling lineouts at international and Super Rugby level. I am a flanker who is passionate about general rugby skills, game understanding, and preparation, whilst specialising in work around the breakdown (attack and defence) and tackle technique. I also have particular insight into leadership and captaincy, mental preparation, and tactical review and preview, as well as what it takes to transform your mind and body into a more complete rugby player.

Ryley appreciated his time with Liam who showed him more efficient and effective movements in attack and defence. Drills were scalable so that by the end of the session the new movements came naturally. Ryley is looking forward to future sessions.

Liam was punctual, prepared and had an age and skill set appropriate coaching style for Josh. He communicated clearly, explaining and demonstrating the skills well. The session was tailored around the skills that we had requested. We wouldn’t hesitate to book more sessions with Liam.

So much knowledge and insight about rugby but most of all coach Liam has a gift of breaking things down for my 10yr old to understand. We will definitely be working with Coach Liam again in the future.
