I still reckon teaching players the discipline to do an hour of yoga every morning would be more beneficial than anything else available - flexibility, recovery, strengthening, balance, breathing, discipline, focus, and mentality; it's a much more holistic approach proven over millennia, modern sports seem slow to catch on. Listen to Dan Hardy talking about doing yoga in relation to his MMA career, he's one example amongst many.
one of the coaches said they train these three times a week here in nz the rugby union says kids and youth rugby already train too often at twice a week, not really gonna work here is it ? Although i will say if other nations begin to surpass us good on them for promoting the game and providing MORE for the youth.
