This training manual covers all aspects of conditioning for rugby, from fitness drills and exercise programmes to motivation and diet.
This book delivers training information which takes account of the fact that the rugby players outside the top flight have to balance many life commitments.
It addresses the problems of high commitment, limited training opportunities and answers questions such as if I can only commit to two or three hours per week what is the best use of the time and how do I set realistic targets and remain motivated on the way to achieving them?
Written in conjunction with the Lilleshall Human Performance Centre it guides the reader through designing, delivering and maintaining an optimum and time-efficient training schedule for the amateur player seeking to maximise their potential without sacrificing a healthy balanced life.
Whilst most of the market is taken up with in-depth studies of every area of conditioning, none take account of the fact that the majority of players need to balance work, and home life with their sport.
Players may be committed to making a positive difference through conditioning but are not able or willing to make the sacrifices which characterise the training regimes of the elite athletes.
