Tours Change Lives
With Ben Herring
In a recent interview with Ben Herring from the podcast, Coaching Culture, Ken Grover, founder of Gullivers, shares the powerful and transformational experiences that reach beyond Rugby skills through touring.
Parents have called Ken saying, "Thank you, we've got our son back," after seeing positive changes in their children following tours.
These transformations happen through the natural consequences of touring life: players learn punctuality, respect for opponents, and adaptability when facing unfamiliar challenges.
Do Rugby tours build connections that transcend the sport itself? Ken chats to Ben about how the shared experiences create bonds that last decades, forming networks of friendship and support that extend throughout players' lives.
"Rugby is a special place where you can go anywhere in the world and meet rugby people," Ken observes, highlighting the sport's unique ability to create global community.
Ken shares his unique perspective on how touring builds culture, leadership, discipline, and lifelong friendships.
Topics explored in the podcast:
- How tours create resilience, discipline, and leadership in young people
- The role of culture in rugby and beyond - good and bad examples
- Why Japan is one of the best rugby destinations for schools
- The unforgettable stories from decades of global tours (rugby, music, netball & more)
- Why tours are truly a "learning curve that never ends".
