S4 Ep14 - Injury Prevention for Tag Rugby: The Mistakes We See Every Year
from The GB Sports Performance Podcast · host Grace Brown
Are you ignoring the real reason behind your injuries in tag rugby?Every year, I see players diving headfirst into the season without proper preparation, leading to avoidable injuries. This week I'm giving my take on the 5 biggest mistakes:1. Just playing tag isn’t enough fitness. You need structured strength training and running sessions to get your body ready. 2. Don’t skip hamstring work! Weak hamstrings lead to injuries. Add some sprint work and eccentric strength exercises to your routine. 3. Ignoring deceleration training? That’s a big mistake! Train your body to stop and change direction safely to prevent knee injuries. 4. Building load too quickly? Ease into your training to avoid breakdowns. 5. Neglecting those little niggles? Address them early, or they’ll turn into bigger issues.INSTAGRAMWORK WITH ME
