S1 Ep7: Developing the Rugby Player with Dr Josh Darrall-Jones

In today's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Dr Josh Darrall-Jones to talk about how we can best develop rugby players from a strength and conditioning perspective.

Josh not only carries out and contributes to the research that shapes our recommendations, but also works within pro rugby as a strength and conditioning coach.

In this episode, we cover everything from the key characteristics a rugby players needs to have to thrive at the highest level, to minimising risk of injury and what the process looks like in taking a rugby player from average to elite (i.e. school rugby all the way through to the international stage).

If you're an athlete or S&C coach that works in team sports, you'll need to grab a coffee and a notepad for this one.
