Episode 4
In this episode I talk to head of S&C for the Welsh Rugby Union 7s team about his start in S&C and how he progressed from a player to leading the S&C program at the WRU 7s.
We talk about the different demands on 7s against 15s rugby and how a travel team such as Wales 7s cope with the demand of long distance travel while playing on the international 7s circuit.
We discuss the habit of 'chasing numbers' in the gym and how this crosses over into game play on the field, how he manages training volume and load while ensuring players peak in time for tournaments and dealing with jetlag.
