LOGINDevelop robustness in training sessions
DAN COX, head coach of English fourth-tier side Old Redcliffians, explains how he focuses on players’ ability to repeat certain actions without breaking down.
Using pre-season as a starting point, our training has been focused on building a base of contact skills and conditioning to ensure they stand less chance of breaking down during the season.
There is a need in rugby for our players to repeat actions in physically demanding and adverse conditions consistently.
Leagues such as National 2 West, which Old Redcliffians compete in, can often be very physical and attritional. Ensuring our players can bounce back and repeat efforts is key for success.
Be ready to solve problems
At any level, rugby and, in particular, coaching have a consistent set of problems to solve. But that is hard when you cannot concentrate due to a lack of conditioning.
