A shameless plug for my book, 'So You Want To Be Captain?' out on 15th March
Declan Gane says
“Some of you will know the story of when I was unable to find anything to help my 12 year old son Louis when he took on the captaincy of the U12s at High School.
We put pen to paper, went to the top and asked some of the world's leading captains for their advice, and the rest, as they say, is history”.
Can you help Declan with your contacts to the Captains of this world?
Some of you may know the story already of when my son Louis was made captain of the U12s school rugby team and I went out to buy him a book on what captains should do.
While I found the weighty works by Sir Clive Woodward, Mike Brearley and the like, I could find nothing for kids. So grasping the initiative, Louis and I wrote to a few leading captains asking for their words of wisdom, advice and top tips on how they do their jobs. To our great delight very many wrote back, including;
