Course reviews
Sisa Ntlabati New ZealandVital information for return to play programs divided in terms of weeks. Could really help coaches to track progress of their teams.
Edwin Silkstone EnglandThe four week Periodisation Plan is an excellent preparation programme to follow, as it covers all the key ingredients within the game. In fact, in its own way it is almost as detailed as Mendeleev’s Periodic Table where everything is atomised to it’s lowest unit of measurement before building them up to make accurate and effective ball skills and game plays! With the wealth of drills and guidelines you have on your Website it is possible to vary the level of complexity to suite the needs of your players and the standard of rugby they play.
Carter Croft EnglandVery good-making a pre season plan seem easy.
Peter New ZealandGreat video at the right time
Gareth Davies NetherlandsGetting back into training in this progressive way really helps (re)develop those skills all too easily lost when not using them. Starting with the fundamentals allows players to measure how well they improve throughout the session.
