The architect of Britain’s greatest rugby achievement, Sir Clive Woodward earned international acclaim and a knighthood after he led England’s players to World Cup glory in Australia in 2003. A highly sought-after keynote speaker , Clive\u2019s approach to winning has captured the imagination of both the sporting and corporate worlds. He draws on his experience as a World Cup-winning Head Coach, as Director of Sport for Team GB at the British Olympic Association for the London 2012 Olympics, and as Founding Partner and Chairman of Captured (an online coaching software and synchronised app based on his coaching philosophy).<\/p>\n
A former England International and British & Irish Lion himself, Clive immediately made his mark as Head Coach by introducing basic business principles, including setting long-term goals, attention to detail, and focusing on the personal development of individuals. During his tenure, England moved from 6th to the number 1-ranked team in the world, winning every trophy an England team can win. In 2006, Clive joined the British Olympic Association. As Team GB\u2019s Director of Sport he worked in close partnership with key stakeholders in British Sport to support the national coaches and athletes at the Beijing & Vancouver Olympics as well as deliver Team GB\u2019s most successful Olympic Games in the modern era at London 2012.<\/p>\n
Clive is ideally placed to explain the common thread between business and sport: he communicates the importance of thinking clearly under pressure and draws parallels between the structures of high-performance teams in both worlds<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
