Rugby Premier League Creates Chance For India To Achieve Olympic Dream, Says Kalinga Black Tigers Coach Mike Friday
A former rugby sevens player himself, Mike Friday proceeded to become England Sevens’ most successful coach to date, leading them to 10 titles during his tenure, while also securing a Commonwealth Games silver medal in 2006. He has also played a significant role in building legacies across the teams he has coached, including the Kenya Sevens and the USA Sevens teams.
Now taking up a new challenge at the GMR RPL, he described the league’s unique appeal, stating, “It’s a very innovative format, a perfect balance between international players and domestic players. When you’re trying to grow the sport and build capability, it’s crucial to include domestic players in that development. It’s a fantastic experience for them, not only in-game time but more importantly in training time.”
