This information on Sir Clive Woodward was taken from Clive’s keynote speaker agent.
Clive Woodward made his fame as the former Head Coach of the England Rugby Team. Leading them to some of their most prominent victories, Clive is the coaching genius behind England’s first World Rugby Cup win in the 2003 Rugby World Cup. With impeccable leadership skills and a likeable personality, Clive is also well known for coaching the team to two Six Nation victories, three Triple Crown victories and five Millennium Trophy victories.
In his early career, Clive had aspirations quite different from the course of his career. He originally applied for a degree in law at Durham University, but after being turned down began work at NatWest bank. Clive then began to play rugby, playing for clubs such as Harlequins, Leicester and the England National team. At the end of his playing career, Clive had secured 21 caps for England and developed a strong understanding of the inner workings of the game.
Other prominent roles of Clive’s include coaching London Irish, Bath and the British and Irish Lions. Clive has also spent time during his career as a football coach, leaving rugby behind to become the Performance Director of Southampton Football Club and later the Director of Football. Clive is also known for his role as the Director of Elite Performance for the British Olympic Association and Deputy Chef de Mission during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
With an illustrious career behind him, Clive is now highly sought as a speaker for online events. Putting to use the skills that he honed as an elite sports coach, Clive covers topics such as what makes a champion, tackling change, winning cultures and in fitting with the current climate, navigating uncertain times.
