DT & Engineering Blog: The DNA of a Champion – Sir Clive Woodward
StandardThe DNA of a Champion – Talent Alone is not enough. Sir Clive Woodward, Former England Rugby Coach interviewed by Piers Morgan.
As the architect of Britain’s greatest rugby achievement, Sir Clive Woodward is a national hero. Clive draws on his experiences as Director of Sport for Team GB at the British Olympic Association for the London 2012 Olympics and more recently as founding partner & chairman of an online coaching software app company, and a member of the IOC’s Entourage Committee; Clive’s approach to winning has captured the imagination of both the sporting and corporate worlds.

Working drawings contain the information needed to make an object, including:
- dimensions
- components
- materials
- assembly instructions
Working drawings normally use orthographic projection.
Some products may need a section drawing to give extra structural information, or an assembly drawing to show how parts fit together.
Orthographic projection

An orthographic projection of this shape is shown below
Orthographic projection uses a 2D drawing of each side of an object. Orthographic drawings usually consist of a front view, a side view and a plan view. A drawing board and parallel motionor T-square is used to project one view from another.
Orthographic drawing may be done using first angle projection or third angle projection.
