WHY RUGBY-SPECIFIC TRAINING?
Rugby is a demanding sport that requires a unique blend of strength, agility, and endurance. Whether you're a professional, semi-professional, or amateur player, my goal is to tailor a strength and conditioning programme that enhances your rugby skills and overall athletic performance.
WHAT SETS US APART?
Having worked with a diverse range of rugby players, from juniors to seasoned professionals, we understand the specific physical demands of the game. Our approach goes beyond generic training routines; it's about developing the strength, agility, skill set, and endurance needed for the dynamic nature of rugby.
TAILORED PROGRAMMES
Offering personalised strength and conditioning programmes designed to address the unique needs of rugby players. Whether you're aiming to improve your skill set, speed, agility, power, or endurance, we'll work together to create a training plan that aligns with your position and playing style.
LET'S DO THIS!
If you're serious about taking your rugby game to the next level, let's connect. Whether you're looking to build strength, enhance agility, or improve your skill set and overall conditioning, I'm here to guide you. Let's work together to develop a personalised rugby strength and conditioning plan that aligns with your goals.
I'm Neil Lightowler, an advanced personal trainer with a passion for rugby strength and conditioning. With over 30 years of experience in sport and fitness, I bring a wealth of knowledge to help rugby players at all levels enhance their performance on the field. The coaching style is very reflective of personal experience, from exposure to coaches such as Brian Ashton and Mark Nelson at Fylde RFC to Peter Rossborough and Jim Robinson at Coventry RFC, and as far back as school days at King Henry VIII School with Geoff Courtois, Keith McGawley, and Steve Wilkes.
Firmly believing that a loss is just as important as a win, collectively reflecting and understanding how to unite to understand areas for improvement.
Always researching, using content from resources such as YouTube to help players improve, and striving to learn more myself to continually develop as a coach.
Actively follow the written and visual aspects of the game, sharing examples that are pertinent.
I'm further developing my rugby coaching as I am currently studying for my Advanced Level 3 RFU Coaching Award.
