About the Author
Hi, I'm Clint Bowers. I'm not a teacher or a rugby coach — but I've been inspired by the best of both. My family and friends in the teaching profession showed me just how hard educators work and how much they care. And as a former rugby player, I was lucky enough to have a coach who changed the way I saw the game and myself. I wrote these ebooks out of a genuine passion for both worlds — to give teachers practical tools that make a real difference, and to pass on the kind of coaching wisdom that shaped me as a player. Every book comes from the heart, written for the people who show up every day to make a difference.
