A bonus podcast for Ashes Rugby League Podcast listeners! 


We tend to coach players that are younger than us, and there are a lot of misconceptions about younger generations; that they don't have work ethics and that we can't administer standards in our coaching.

This podcast hits hard with the reality of this situation and great advice for coaches.

Lee also addresses his recent criticisms of Australia half, Nathan Cleary, and has a message for the haters!
