Why most rugby players never see results

Hey mate,

Here’s the biggest issue I see with rugby players — at every level.

They don’t stick with anything long enough.

Your body needs time

Strength.
Speed.
Power.

All of these take 8–12 weeks of consistent work to adapt.

But most players:

• Change exercises every few weeks

• Jump programmes

• Chase what looks exciting

Then players wonder why nothing transfers to the pitch.

Think about it like rugby skills

How do you get better at passing?

You don’t change the pass every session.
You do thousands of reps.

Training works the same way.

Consistency is the multiplier.
Not motivation.
Not novelty.
Not suffering.

There’s no magic exercise for power here’s why

This is exactly why I built Complete Rugby Performance

Inside the programme, you get:

• A full weekly structure built around match day

• Gym, speed, conditioning, primer, and recovery sessions

• Clear loading, tempos, and intent — no guesswork

• A system designed to transfer to the pitch, not just look good in the gym

Saturday doesn’t start on Saturday.
It starts with what you do consistently in the gym.

Next week I will walk you through the weekly structure I use inside Complete Rugby Performance that transfers gym work to the pitch.

Train like a player,
