Rugby fitness training

The first article focuses on a single mental strategy that I have seen help numerous people attain results.The article details adopting a better or worse approach to your training and eating. When this approach is taken you are able to make choices and decisions from a different perspective. It removes the all or nothing approach which destroys consistency in most people. Take a good look at this article and incorporate this principle into your own mind set.

The second link is about team training and the approach most clubs take. For a long time I have stated that rugby clubs are too soft and as a general sport rugby players show nowhere near the mental toughness or desire for fitness compared to other sports.

There are few other sports out there that do two months fitness work followed by 10 months of nothing except for the odd occasional fitness session. It is a disgrace, trust me, if you go down your local athletics track, running club or martial arts school you will be doing fitness session in session out. Why rugby doesn't do this baffles me and it is no surprise to see players who are not in good enough shape to handle the demands of Rugby.

In the second article I outline some things team sessions should be incorporating to counter this.

If you need any help this off-season to maximise your abilities come the start of next season then consider my Rugby mentor or Rugby nutrition courses.

Hope your training is going well
