9 October 2015 10:36 AMRichmond coach Damien Hardwick will embark on an education trip to the US this month as he looks for a way to deliver the Tigers' first finals win under his reign.
Hardwick will be joined on the trip by Richmond's head of coaching & football performance Tim Livingstone, assistant coach Mark 'Wilbur' Williams and football analysis manager Hayden Hill.
A group of the club's other coaches will complete the AFL's level three course.
After declaring at the club's best and fairest on Tuesday night that Richmond won't be driven by proving outsiders wrong, Hardwick will depart for the 10-day trip in late October.
"They're going to spend some time with Texas University and Kentucky University," football manager Dan Richardson told afl.com.au.
"They're always looking to improve and see what other people are doing at other teams and in other countries.
"The soft cap (on non-player football expenditure) has had a bit of an impact on that and stifled a little bit of what we can, but we would be no different to (rival) clubs."
