BHRFC | Interview – Jon Tutty
of experience within our club
and more speci昀椀cally in our
men’s senior team that we have
to incorporate the successes
that are already there and then
looking at how you can add to
that. We have set our culture
around two words this year,
UBUNTU (I am because we are)
and DUAVATA (UNITY) alongside
ten rules we set together in our
昀椀rst players meeting. The players
and the wider club have been
fantastic at taking these onboard
and it is really showing in how
we train and communicate. With
the right culture and the buy in
from everyone this gives us an
excellent foundation to build from.
With regard to playing this year
our goal is to solidify ourselves
in the league and bring on the
development of our play both as
a team and individually. What
I can say here though is that
the work from the players has
been outstanding and they have
committed to a new system of
play both in attack and defence
and the outcomes we are getting
in training are very exciting.
We cannot wait for September
th and our 昀椀rst pre season
game. Can we achieve more
than solidifying this year? The
potential is most certainly there
and if we can be consistent in our
approach and our commitment
to each other then the potential
is there to do a lot more!! This
year has seen the u15’s training
with the seniors through pre
season and the lads have been
昀椀rst class. They have become a
big part of the group and they
have developed tremendously
with the guidance of Tom and
Laney as well live feedback from
our seniors. What has been very
exciting though is watching their
con昀椀dence grow to express
themselves both skill based
and communication based. The
difference from start of pre
season to now is evident and
when you watch our run throughs
and you have the boys at centre
of the pod calling the seniors
in and letting them know they
want the carry and to support
them, FANTASTIC!! Ensuring these
opportunities for development
are there for both players and
coaches are key for me. Not only
does this provide more rounded
players and coaches as the club
moves forward year by year
but allows people to feel a part
of everything and that they are
directly playing a part in the clubs
development and successes.
Q3. We are deep into pre-season,
how is it going?
Outstanding!! From day one
the boys have been 昀椀rst class.
The desire to achieve and
become better was clear from
the 昀椀rst time met the s uad.
The whole squad has worked
