Hearing about fitness profiling

"Football is not a matter of life and death, it is more important than that."

Bill Shankly, Liverpool Football manager

Visit to Twickenham

Stuart had a fascinating day at Twickenham in September. The RFU was staging an elite rugby department media open day.

The day included:

1. Observing fitness profiling of the England U20 squad, including speed, power and endurance;

2. Long term elite player profiling via the elite hub website;

, 3. Sports psychology for the national academy.

Stuart said, "It as fascinating to get a look iside the profssionalism of elite rugby and to see the contribution of science to sport".
