Dave Dickman

athlete

Dave Dickman is known for his role as a rugby league trainer, particularly with the Western Suburbs Magpies during the late 20th century. He was recognized for his intense training methods, which sometimes drew criticism but ultimately aimed to prepare players for the physical demands of the game. Dickman's infamous pairing of players for face-slapping exercises during practice became a focal point in a '60 Minutes' segment, which inadvertently captured the raw and gritty nature of rugby league training at the time.
