Our strength and conditioning coach will analyse video footage of each player prior to the commencement of the tour to identify any mobility and movement issues, and develop exercises accordingly. Each programme is individually designed to reduce the risk of injury, make weaknesses non-existent, and improve a player s overall speed and strength.
