Show notes

On this episode I interviewed Steve Hooper who is a Performance Coach with the Gold Coast Titans rugby league club.

 

This episode’s main focus of this topic was design and periodization of a conditioning program for rugby league, but has other great takeaways for any team field sport.

 

Topics discussed…

  • Important aspects of a pre season conditioning program
  • The metrics Steve looks at to monitor/measure and improve
  • What conditioning tests he uses
  • How he implements the test results into training
  • How he structures a week of conditioning/speed/multidirectional
  • A general example of how a conditioning session would look for them
  • How he plans gym along side field conditioning and max velocity work
  • How this can best be applied at the sub elite level
  • Biggest mistakes in designing a pre season conditioning plan
