For those who have to slog away on our conditioning alone, around work and family life, got any tips for us?
AI would look at apps like Strava, Interval Timer and Hudl Technique, writes Rob Anderson, the lead S& C coach for the Scottish Rugby Academy in Caledonia. They’ re free, so there’s no barrier to use. And they are idiot-proof, so anyone can use them easily. Strava measures distance run or cycled and gives split times/run times, so you can assess progress.
Interval Timer allows you to set up a variety of work/rest ratios for different tasks. And Technique allows players to take slow-mo videos for you that you can then draw lines/angles on, and send voice notes and comments back to athletes.
