John Wooden said, "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." Character is CHOOSING to do what's right even when it's hard. Integrity over convenience.

Wooden’s Famous Two Sets of Threes from Bill Walton…. 1. Don’t lie 2. Don’t cheat 3. Don’t steal And 1. Don’t whine 2. Don’t complain 3. Don’t make excuses It is really pretty simple, isn’t it? RIP Bill Walton 🙏

Great day yesterday down at Sheffield RUFC Was a privelage to be part of the opening of 'Shawsys Room'. A fitting tribute to a man who does so much on and off the field for the players at Sheffield RUFC. #alrightkid #rugbyfamily

Massive thanks to Goole RUFC for hosting our YorkshireRFU U17's assessment night,the quality on display was to a high standard yet again. Thanks to all players/parents/coaches who gave up their time last night. The journey continues.......... #development #family #countyrugby.

Delighted to have the support and backing from Paul Anderson & Rugby Football League for our innovation around player development & the Scholarship games. The format we devised at Wakefield Trinity is a very pure, stripped back version of Rugby League that amplifies skill, speed and vision. 👇🏼

Great first session together for the YorkshireRFU U17's family today. Massive thanks to all who took time out of their bank holiday weekend to be there and to Goole RUFC for hosting us. #rugbyfamily #Development #yorkshire

Loads of learning tonight at the 1st of our modified game formats for the Wakefield Trinity scholars. These games highlight skill, vision, speed & 1v1 contact capabilities in a highly competitive situation & importantly for me it gets ALL our scholarship players in a Wakefield shirt.

Excited and privileged to be working with this group of people over the next month. Looking forward to see them bond as a group and unlock the massive potential they have !! YorkshireRFU #yorkshire #family #development

Not the result the YorkshireRFU U17s family wanted yesterday getting pipped 27-30 over at Lancashire. Proud of the lads though and the way they played scoring 5 tries to Lancashire's 3. We'll dust ourselves down,learn and go again next Sunday against Durham. #rugbyfamily
