On this episode I interviewed Simon Thomas who is the Head of Performance for AG Rugby in the Major League Rugby competition in the USA.

This episode’s main topic was quantifying and training for contact in a field based sports setting.

Topics discussed…

• How ST tries to quantify training
• How he uses game demands to program for training
• How he tries to understand the conditioning side of contact
• Examples of conditioning for contact
• How he programs the gym side to aid in contact training
• How ST incorporates wrestle into programs and uses a team of professionals to help
