- Abstract
The article considers Cal Rugby, the rugby football team of the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on its coach Jack Clark. The team's success under Clark, in which it has won 21 national championships in his 25 years as coach, is examined. Clark's recruitment of rugby players, development of leadership capabilities among his team's players and focus on feedback aimed towards improving performance rather than emphasizing victories or defeats are considered. Clark's creation of a successful campaign to maintain rugby football as a varsity sport in 2010 when the school's athletic department wished to make it a club sport due to budget cuts is discussed.
