Synopsis

The Most Complete Junior Rugby Guide Ever Written — Attack, Defence, Fitness and the Full Pathway

Rugby demands the most complete athlete of any team sport. Most rugby books either focus on adult elite performance or only cover one part of the game. Rugby to Succeed covers everything: skills for every position, team tactics, age-grade rules, strength and conditioning, and the full England Rugby and World Rugby junior development pathway — all in one comprehensive guide that no competing title matches for depth or junior focus.

What's Inside:

• Core Skills — passing, catching, tackling, rucking, mauling, lineouts and scrums — technique for every position
• Attack — running lines, support play, set-piece attack, breakdown and continuity
• Defence — defensive systems, line speed, drift vs. blitz, and tackle technique
• Fitness — rugby-specific conditioning, power, speed and contact fitness
• Nutrition and Recovery — fuelling for contact sport, match-day nutrition and recovery
• Mental Performance — decision-making under pressure, team dynamics and playing through adversity
• The Pathway — England Rugby age-grade, county, academy pathways and playing opportunities at every level

Every position. Every phase of play. The only junior rugby guide that covers it all.
