168: Rethinking rugby training (with James de Lacey) - a podcast by HMMR Media LLC

Like most sports, rugby union has its traditions when it comes to training methods. Unlike most sports, those traditions do not always run as deep. The sport has only been professional for two decades, meaning that many more coaches are openly exploring how they can do things differently and better. James de Lacey is the incoming head of strength and conditioning for Romanian Rugby. He joins us on this week's episode to discuss some of the areas he has been looking at changing those traditions, from weekly planning, to contact conditioning, and sprint training.
