Blake Enever offering private rugby union coaching clinics

Former Wallaby and 50-cap Super Rugby star Blake Enever has started offering private coaching clinics to rising Sunshine Coast rugby union talent.

Former Wallaby and Super Rugby star Blake Enever has returned to the region to offer private coaching clinics for rising Sunshine Coast rugby union talents.

The Buderim-born Sunshine Coast Grammar School graduate represented the Sunshine Coast Stingrays from under-14s before receiving a Queensland Reds Academy contract in 2011.

Enever went on to have 50 appearances in the Super Rugby with the Queensland Reds and the ACT Brumbies and represented the Wallabies in 2017.

The 30-year-old said his passion to contribute towards the success of Sunshine Coast rugby union was a major reason behind the launch of Enever Coaching.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunities I got from Sunshine Coast rugby union who set that platform for me to jump straight into higher honours and representative rugby,” he said.

“I’m extremely passionate about further developing rugby union and individual talent on the Coast and would love to help provide any kind of guidance or coaching experience to the next generation of players.”

Enever, who has a three-year-old son and 10-month-old daughter with his wife Tori, was currently working for Sunshine Coast Grammar School through his final studies of primary school teaching.

He said the feedback had been positive since the launch of Enever Coaching in May, 2022.

“It’s been really good, even though the rain disrupted things early on, at this time of year there’s a lot of junior representative rugby happening so I’ve been attending those training sessions and getting my eyes on those particular players,” he said.

“I’m just starting to develop those connections ahead of the holidays which is a really good time to hold our sessions and meet those players who are wanting to reach and further their potential.”

Louis Werchon (QAS), Tate McDermott (Wallabies), Carter and Mason Gordon (Melbourne Rebels) were all junior Sunshine Coast rugby union products.

He said he hoped he could further contribute to developing players on the Sunshine Coast rather than having them attend a major Brisbane high school.

“We’ve established these programs that can really start developing those talented players at a young age as hopefully those days are behind us were those certain individuals had to go to Brisbane to be seen,” he said.

“I think it’s a really exciting time to capitalise on that and the more kids that stay on the Coast the higher the standard will get.”
