You dominated on the field. Now dominate in business.

 Transform your rugby experience into executive leadership that creates lasting impact and builds the legacy you deserve.

You Gave Everything to Rugby. Now It's Time for Your Career.

 Sound familiar?

  • You spent your 20s perfecting your game while others built their careers
  • You're struggling to translate your sporting success into business language
  • You feel behind your non-sporting peers in corporate environments
  • You know you're a natural leader but can't prove it in boardroom terms
  • Your CV doesn't reflect the leadership skills you developed on the pitch


 

Here's the truth: Your rugby background isn't a disadvantage – it's your competitive edge. The skills that made you a champion on the field are exactly what today's businesses desperately need in their leaders.

You just need someone who speaks both languages to help you make the translation.

Your Rugby Experience = Executive Excellence

The boardroom isn't that different from the pitch. Both require:

🏉 Decision-Making Under Pressure

 Split-second decisions in high-stakes moments – exactly what executives face daily 

🏉 Team Leadership

 Motivating diverse personalities toward a common goal while managing egos and conflicts 

🏉 Resilience

 Bouncing back from setbacks stronger than before, learning from every loss 

🏉 Strategic Thinking

 Reading the game, adapting tactics in real-time, and staying three moves ahead 

🏉 Performance Mindset

 Continuous improvement, measurable results, and never settling for "good enough" 

🏉 Handling Pressure

 Performing when it matters most, with thousands watching and everything on the line 

 

The skills are there. You just need to learn how to articulate them in business terms.

Coached by Someone Who Gets It

 Jon Bugg isn't just another business coach – he's a rugby player who made the transition himself.

As President of Norwich Rugby Club and former PE teacher turned Managing Director, Jon understands both worlds intimately. He's walked the path from pitch to boardroom, building successful teams in education, web development, and now executive coaching.

Jon has developed his proven MAMAL methodology specifically to help ex-rugby players leverage their sporting experience for business success. He knows what it's like to translate "captain" into "team leader," "game plan" into "business strategy," and "match fitness" into "executive presence."

The result? Leaders who don't just survive in business – they dominate.
