“By the end of this book you can warm up and cool down properly, do simple speed, agility and bodyweight strength work with good technique, practise rugby skills alone or with a friend, plan a week that includes rest, and know when to stop and ask a professional.”

What your player learns

By the end of the book, your player can:

  • Name the three parts of training (body, skills, recovery) and the six parts of fitness, and say that people respond differently
  • Run a 10 to 20 minute warm-up in three stages and a cool-down in three phases
  • Do simple speed and agility practices with good technique
  • Explain why strength for young players starts with bodyweight and technique, and do five basic moves
  • Practise handling alone and with a friend (non-contact), explain why rest matters, and plan a week with rest in it
  • Know when to stop, who to ask, and which shortcuts to avoid
