What Can We Learn From Rugby? Workshop

SESSION Abstract:What can we learn from Rugby with Ormond Heather

Why do rugby players train the way they do? A key principle in sport science is specificity—the idea that training should prepare athletes for the demands of competition. From strength and speed training to conditioning and contact preparation, every aspect of a rugby programme is designed with performance in mind.

In this session, Ormond Heather explores how specificity is applied in rugby and what lessons can be learned from elite sport. Drawing on his experience in rugby performance and research, he will examine how coaches balance the demands of the game with the need to develop well-rounded athletes.

But if training should replicate competition, where do we draw the line? This session will explore the benefits and limitations of specificity and ask an important question: can there be such a thing as too much specificity
