Coaching Staff

Head Coach   
​Wiremu Kiwi'au Diaz

​I still consider myself a player but the body thinks otherwise. Coaching I get to mentor and train in something that I love and has played a role in shaping my life. I enjoy seeing players experience the thrill of rugby for the first time. I also feel that it is my obligation to pass on what I know to future ruggers so that they can create their own rugby experiences. Coaching the Ironsides as a club that prides itself as being inclusive is liberating. Sexual orientation is a nullified non-issue and acceptance is the norm. I see openly gay men entering a sport allowed to focus on being a better athlete in a highly physical arena rather than focusing on whether they would be treated differently. I see straight athletes forced to reconcile with any preconceived stereotypes they may have had regarding the LGBTQ+ community, and if anything have been better-educated.

I love to see others fall in love with the sport and brotherhood of rugby, as I have. Joining the Ironsides as a player taught me so much about the beautiful game — the respect, the inclusion, and being comfortable with myself and my abilities. It is about the camaraderie that isn't found in any other sport, the pushing yourself to your limits not just for yourself but for your teammates, and of course the passion and aggression that this game allows us to unleash. I have grown so much as a person playing rugby, and as an Ironside I appreciate the true nature of the sport's values of inclusivity and cohesiveness as a diverse team. It has taught me a lot about myself as a person through playing and coaching, and I want to share these wonderful experiences with others who are willing to work hard and learn all that Ironsides rugby has to offer.
