E114 - Alex Sanderson: Leading by example (Gallagher Leadership Series)

Alex Sanderson is the Director of Rugby for Sale Sharks. Alex started his senior playing career at Sale in 1998 and went on to make 90 appearances for the club, with his leadership qualities earning him the club captaincy. Alex isn’t a coach that just stands on the side-line, in his own words he “wants to be on the coalface to feel what the players are feeling, to understand what they’re going through”. He has a very hands-on management style wanting to get involved and lead from the front. This episode will explore how he drives his team forward, setting expectations and inspiring excellence. We are delighted to work with Gallagher, Your Trusted Insurance Broker, to bring you this three part ‘Gallagher Leadership Series’ with leading Directors of Rugby, including Rob Baxter, Alex Sanderson and Steve Borthwick. Check out Gallagher’s new three-part series #RivalsTogether, bringing you candid player-to-player conversations about what leadership in rugby means to some of the Gallagher Prem's brightest stars.<a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOvx4ui51lOCwX_JOU1U4VFvXStQ9aWO7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOvx4ui51lOCwX_JOU1U4VFvXStQ9aWO7</a>  Hosted on Acast.
