Legendary Coach Brian Ashton and I were on a Zoom call a couple of weeks ago with Jason Wilcox, Head of Manchester City’s Academy.  Jason was taking us through his ‘What Counts’ factors for his Academy players and Brian shared his top three for today’s Rugby players:

         Dynamic

         Intelligent

         Punishing.

Also works for Soccer too – think Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero.
