Clayton returns to RGS Rugby

RGS has welcomed back Clayton Bohan as Coordinator of Rugby.

Clayton played for the RGS First XV rugby union and First XIII rugby league teams before graduating from RGS in 2016.

Following school Clayton moved to Brisbane to study sports science and worked at St Edmund鈥檚 College (Ipswich) for two years.

Clayton also worked for the Norths Devils Rugby League Club in Brisbane as strength and conditioning coach for the club鈥檚 U16 and U18 teams while also assisting with the club鈥檚 Hostplus Cup team.

While Clayton admits the transition from a player to the coaching and development role is different, he has welcomed the opportunities.

鈥淵ou see it through a whole new set of eyes, but I enjoy giving back to the sport and helping kids get to where they want to be,鈥欌 Clayton said.

Clayton just wants RGS players to enjoy the game and for the School to help them 鈥済et to where they want to be鈥.

鈥淵ou only play school footy for a few years so enjoy that small period of time. You鈥檒l create life-long friends after that,鈥欌 Clayton said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 just about the students enjoying themselves and smiling when they鈥檙e playing. You still want them to be competitive and strive for success, but it鈥檚 not the be-all and end-all if you fall that bit short in a game.鈥

Clayton is a big believer in all players being 鈥渟witched on鈥 for training and games and working at cementing down the finer things of the game.

鈥淚t鈥檚 about getting the little things right that will build to a big win at the end of the year. You can鈥檛 just rock up and go through the motions,鈥欌 Clayton said.

鈥淗ard work underpins everything you do, even outside of school. If you can have that great work ethic it will help you in the long run.鈥

Returning to 抖阴APP导航 also gives Clayton the opportunity to reunite with both his family in 抖阴APP导航 and his old school.

鈥淚鈥檝e played footy since I was four or five. It鈥檚 been a part of my life the whole time. Everywhere I turned it was talking about footy at dinner with my brothers or ringing my dad and talking about footy,鈥欌 Clayton said.
