“Brent is a highly intelligent and articulate man, who has tremendous organizational and management skills. Allied to this he has a huge work ethic. He is also a man of impeccable character, whose integrity is beyond reproach. All of this is borne out by the success he has had in his professional rugby coaching career and the high regard which he is held.”

“Brent is a great coach that can build a system up from the ground. I found his knowledge on defence and the kicking game very good. He has a great understanding of the building blocks and his background in judo gives him a functional movement edge. He has good meeting room qualities and always got the message across catering for all different types of learners (Auditive, practical, verbal, and visual). Brent is an intelligent, trustworthy and hardworking person who can be relied upon.”

“Brent has important high performance skills; attention to detail, passion, a desire to learn and grow, a deep understanding of the game, a strong work ethic and man management skills. For me, one of his most unique (and important) skills is his ability to give feedback and challenge and honestly confront players when necessary. In my opinion, Brent is one of the top coaches in the country, and one of the best I have worked with across all sporting codes, (soccer, cricket, hockey, rugby etc) any union would benefit greatly from his passion, skills and character.”

“What really stood out for me is Brent’s ability to treat and see players as people first which brought out the best in me both on and off the field. Brent took the time to connect with players making them feel valued and understood. My overriding feeling from being coached by Brent is that I wanted to make him proud which is testament to his character. Brent has extensive knowledge and detail on all aspects of the game allowing him to bring together all departments to create an aligned and elite performance programme. Brent pushes to create a professional environment in which players can learn, grow in, feel they belong and are valued.”

“I’ve had the incredible privilege to call Brent my coach in one of the best women’s rugby leagues in the world, where Brent has transformed me into a machine of a rugby player, also , single-handedly creating an environment conducive of that transformation. Brent is a natural thought leader; his vast knowledge of rugby is world class and instantly captures and engages players. His passion, energy and work ethic are contagious. He is just a fantastic human being! I am truly privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from the absolute best and level up my game.”

“Being coached by Brent has probably been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. Balancing the demands of leading a growing project, managing a diverse team, and pursuing an MBA has been challenging. Through our sessions, I was able to work through personal development issues that proved invaluable in navigating these pressures. What I really like about Brent’s coaching style is his ability to let me take the lead while exploring and unpacking the layers of my thoughts. His holistic approach made this journey not only transformative but also empowering.”

“Coach Brent has helped me improve my game immensely through his mental skills guidance. His ability to identify limiting beliefs and then gradually correct them, is second to none. He has been able to assist me with a range of different issues whilst equipping me with the skills to deal with adversity right in the heat of the moment. I cannot thank coach Brent enough for what he did for me. Everything I’ve achieved in the past year, I owe to him for his guidance and mentoring.”
