As an avid reader who is obsessed with rugby there aren’t very many books about the sport and the people who have impacted it I haven’t read. Now that I have become consumed with coaching the spectrum of my reading material has expanded to topics like; sports psychology, sports management and the study of great coaches in other sports.
Below is a list of my top ten MUST read for any rugby player and/or coach.

It’s in the Blood: My Life by Lawrence Dallaglio
The life story of former England captain, London Wasp legend, and all around great guy Lawrence Dallglio. His story is unique in the way that he was one of the last amateur players to retire in the professional era.
He paints a vivid picture of transitioning from a guy with a 9-5 who plays rugby for “boot money” on the weekends, into an international rugby star appearing in Nike adverts. American readers may see similarities between where the USA game is now and the start of professionalism in Europe as he tells the story.
