The Wranglers are Welcoming BACK Paul Rodgers👏

I started playing rugby back in the day, when I was young, fearless, and apparently convinced my body was indestructible. Back then, getting tackled and “giving someone the boots” was just part of the fun. Getting up afterward was easy. Now, I throw my back out sneezing and consider stretching a competitive sport.

Life took me in a few different directions, but rugby never really left me. So when the opportunity came along to coach with the Gallatin Wranglers four years ago, I figured, why not? I still loved the game, had a few things to teach, and figured the kids could benefit from what little experience I had.

What I didn’t fully appreciate was that coaching rugby is a lot like playing rugby, except you get to stand on the sidelines, yell instructions, and watch younger, faster people make all the same mistakes you used to make. The only difference is that now, when someone gets tackled, I instinctively wince and start calculating how many Advil I have left in the med kit.

Before long, I went from assistant coaching the boys to coaching the girls, eventually taking the reins as head coach of the U19 Lady Wranglers in 2026. Somewhere along the way, I discovered that coaching requires patience, leadership, communication, and the
ability to explain the same thing seventeen different ways to teenagers who are absolutely certain they already know everything.

Despite the sore knees and feet, the occasional gray hair in my already receding hairline, and the growing suspicion that the players think I’m older than dirt, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Rugby gave me some great memories growing up, and now I get to help the next generation make their own. And so, I’m back for another season with my amazing Wrangler family.

Somebody has to teach these kids how to play rugby. And if I can pass along a little wisdom, a few laughs, and maybe save them from some of the dumb things I did when I was their age, then it’s all worth it. Although, if anyone needs me after practice, I’ll be the guy looking for the nearest chair and pretending that limp is just part of my coaching style.

The Wranglers are welcoming a new coach to our program. Welcome Coach Chickos👏

My rugby journey began as a freshman in high school with the College Park Rugby Club in San Jose, California. I was fortunate to be part of the first American high school rugby team to tour Ireland in 1995, followed by a tour of British Columbia in 1996. I served as team captain for two years and was selected to the Northern California Rugby Football Union U-19 select side in 1997.

I continued my rugby career at the University of Montana, playing five seasons, serving as team captain for three years, and leading the team on a tour of New Zealand in 2002. Following graduation from UM, I played for the San Jose Seahawks, the Bird Creek Barbarians in Anchorage, Alaska, while serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Boulder Rugby Football Club in Colorado, where I remain involved with the Boulder Rugby Old Boys. My coaching experience includes serving as an assistant coach at the University of Colorado Boulder and, most recently, with the Montana East Select Side at the Great Northwest Rugby Challenge.

I truly believe rugby is the greatest sport in the world because of the lessons it teaches both on and off the pitch. As head coach, my goal is to build a competitive program grounded in accountability, discipline, camaraderie, and continuous improvement. Above all, I want our players to develop not only as rugby athletes, but as confident, resilient, and responsible young men who carry the values and lessons of rugby with them throughout their lives.

Outside of rugby, I serve as the Training Sergeant for the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office and am completing my MBA at the University of Denver this fall. My wife, Laura, and I have a five year-old daughter, Ellie, and I enjoy spending time with my family, snowboarding, and mountain biking.

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead the Gallatin Wranglers High School Boys. I’m excited to meet the players and families, build on the club’s traditions, and get to work!
