The Leeds Rhinos Foundation Coach Education Programme is returning on the 22nd June for the fourth workshop of 2015 on ‘Linking coaching to Conditioning’ with Brian McDermott working alongside Leeds Rhinos Head of Athletic Performance Jason Davidson at Leeds Rugby Academy.
The special 'linking coaching with conditioning' workshop will deliver another interactive session for coaches in the region to engage in and is aimed at providing a holistic approach towards conditioning Rugby League players as part of their overall training and development.
The evening will start with Jason Davidson and Brian McDermott giving an explanation of the workshop which will include an example conditioning session in the gym and combat room, along with some fieldwork to continue the conditioning theme throughout the night that focusses on some of the modern day approaches to player conditioning.
The 'linking coaching to conditioning' workshop is based on the modern day approach to Rugby League coaching that introduces the use of up to date technologies to monitor individual athletic performance alongside a focus on the team conditioning and embraces modern training techniques involving the use of the gym and combat room facilities.
The session will be the fourth workshop to take place so far in 2015 and follows on from previous sessions this year on implementing video analysis, coaching defensive philosophies and the 'On the road with the academy' session that involved an observation of the Leeds Rhinos under 19 squad.
Following the 'linking coaching to conditioning' workshop, on the 29th June the Leeds Rhinos Foundation are offering the first specific workshop for coaches new to the game, as the start of a series of specialised workshops for the coaching of age groups at Primary School level from minis (under 7s) to under 11s. More details of the session on the 29th June will follow.
The June 22nd 'linking coaching to conditioning' workshop will take place from 6:45pm – 8:15pm at the Leeds Rugby Academy at the Kirkstall Training Facilities.
