Tiivistelmä
The commissioning party for this thesis was the Danish rugby union. The topic of this thesis was chosen during the authors practical training period with the commissioning party, where they saw the need for a coaching handbook for kicking in the sports of rugby 15’s & rugby 7’s. The handbook is aimed at coaches and athletes that are members of the Danish rugby union. While the coaches are well educated in rugby coaching, kicking is a very specific skill that in the opinion of the commissioning party and the author, needed more detailed guidelines for the coaches.
The thesis process started with the author researching previous literature on the topics of kicking biomechanics, motor learning, strength & resistance training, & sport psychology. This information was then compiled logically and put into a coaching handbook using product development theory as a guide.
The handbook can be used by coaches and athletes of the Danish rugby union. This can give them new perspectives on how to identify proper kicking technique, how to coach it and how to in- crease the performance output of the skill.
