Own the Collision Zone—Track and Train Performance for Rugby
Every player claims the athletes in their sport are built different…but rugby players are built different (you too, water polo players, we see you).
Creating and closing space, avoiding the first collision, seeing the next collision eyes wide and yes yes, BOOM, running right through it. Faster, stronger. Force, power, stamina, winning hurts, the good kind of pain. The mindset—throw out all the tests and metrics except the test of wills.
Train the game—track it.
Drive competition with your halves and centers by timing zig-zag COD or open agility drills. Push your props and second row for the lowest times in the Welsh Anaerobic Test. Time flying sprints—sure your wingers and flyhalves are pacey, but are they prepared to win the collision zone? Calculate momentum, rank it by position. The test of wills? Set a repeatable protocol for the Bronco test—track progress in the same system with your speed data, fast and fit.
