Liam Pagat (Head Coach)
“Jim is easy to work alongside. He looks to understand the specifics of the game plan so he can not only provide the data requested, but he also thinks outside the box by proposing additional data, or by adding additional ad hoc findings that are in line with the game plan. Overall, accurate report presented as the coaching staff requests (raw counts, percentages graphs inter-factor relationships).”

Russell Earnshaw (Coach Educator)
“Jim has a can-do attitude, thinks creatively around problem-solving and continues to think tactically about the way the game is moving forward. Having spent time being alongside him for his Level 3 and beyond, I would have no hesitation in recommending both Jim and his work.”

Omar El Agrebi (Rugby Austria Captain)
As National Team Captain of Austria, I was always expecting our coach to be calm, analytical-thinking and always a step ahead of the opposition. International rugby, on every level, is a high pressure environment, you don‘t get a full season to mitigate risks in your game plan and develop gradually. Even if “longterm“ is also important on international level, the short-term results of analysis, game plan and individual work-ons is crucial to perform to your best ability on the few match days you get in a season. The analysis, preparation and guidance Jim has provided for individual players, units and the whole team have led us to our highest ever World Rugby ranking and have set a foundation the successors in our organisation were able to build upon. I would not hesitate to recommend Jim for both, analysis and coaching!

Daan Albers (captain)
“The insights gained by Jim's analysis has helped us to further improve on our training and brought a real focus on various points of our gameplan. On a weekly basis Jim helped us to identify possible weak spots in the opposition for us to target on gameday. Next to that Jim uses these statistics to provide insight to individual players and connects with them on a personal level.”
