Welcome to the Coaching Knife when we cut to the root of the matter. In this episode, we speak to Ian Costello, Head of Rugby Operations at Munster Rugby. Focusing on talent, we are going to focus on how that term might impact the way we approach coaching.

Ian has had a busy coaching career, with stints as assistant coach at Munster and Wasps, the Munster Academy manager, as well as head coach at Nottingham and an Elite Development Manager with the Irish RFU.

 His philosophy:

The purpose is to develop and sustain a high-performance strategy for Munster Rugby. Philosophy would be to find and develop the best people, build system capability, always improving, learning faster than the opposition. Quality coaching is key to producing consistent winning performance.
