Physical conditioning
- Ensure you complete a warm up (use dynamic stretches) and cool down (use static stretches) for all sessions (see the warm-up and cool down sections)
- Good nutrition and hydration are extremely important to support your conditioning
- Wherever possible, get the help of a registered or accredited physical conditioning coach
- Try to train with someone else or, even better, train in groups following similar programmes
- Try to keep your sessions fun and varied
- Try to develop match fitness through conditioned games and Rugby-specific drills such as those shown below
