out

0:02

here

0:16

so the program started back in September

0:18

2021 with the sole aim of aligning our

0:21

partnership with rgc and providing

0:24

players within North Wales and

0:26

externally as well across the UK and to

0:29

continue on my Rugby journey and provide

0:32

a full-time performance program that

0:35

allowed them to perform well on and off

0:37

the field in addition to providing an

0:40

education that will set them in good

0:42

stead and future so the program is set

0:45

up for us to best prepare for a

0:46

Wednesday afternoon game day so how we

0:48

set up is by having a Monday Tuesday and

0:51

Friday set as a training day so Monday

0:54

and Tuesday we'll see it's either 7 A.M

0:55

until after seven uh skill session up at

0:59

the Dome of brailsford and followed by a

1:01

half Central half H gym session that is

1:03

run by an snc team and once that's

1:06

complete the boys then have an

1:07

opportunity to go and study for the rest

1:08

of the day and then they come back to us

1:11

at six o'clock down at trevoth and where

1:13

we'll go through our team sessions

1:15

Monday it tends to be a bit more intense

1:17

and looking at set piece work and

1:19

Tuesday will be a team run Focus ready

1:23

for Wednesday if we don't have a

1:25

Wednesday afternoon game we'll give the

1:27

boys a night off on the Tuesday and we

1:29

train on a Wednesday afternoon instead

1:31

so I actually fit into the program by

1:34

allowing the players an opportunity to

1:36

continue their development on and off

1:38

the field so it provides them the

1:41

opportunity to jump into gym sessions in

1:43

the morning in order for them to be able

1:45

to attend lackages that may run on later

1:47

in the day which will affect their

1:49

chances of going to an evening gym

1:51

session on rgc it also gives them an

1:53

opportunity to develop on field as well

1:55

in order to get extra game time they may

1:58

not get on a weekend so that gives them

2:01

an opportunity to train with us Monday

2:03

Tuesday ahead of a Wednesday afternoon

2:04

game and then if they're not involved

2:07

with us on a Wednesday and involved with

2:09

rgc they then have the Thursday free to

2:11

train and with their with rgc in the

2:14

evening

2:15

so we've seen a number of developments

2:17

over the last 12 months since the

2:18

program began and so the first and the

2:21

most obvious one uh was the main aim of

2:23

last year was to gain promotion from

2:25

tier three after tier two and we managed

2:27

that with an unbeaten season and that

2:30

reflects how well the boys worked

2:31

throughout the year being involved with

2:33

the program and in addition to to the

2:36

Enfield success the off-field success

2:38

has seen a massive influx of players

2:40

join the club and not just to

2:42

participate within the performance

2:44

program but also the second team and

2:46

that's grown massively since I've

2:49

started so the last three years we've

2:50

been really struggling for for a second

2:52

team to have numbers to to fulfill

2:54

fixtures so we've got two full squads

2:57

and the benefit to that now is being

2:59

able to create a bit of a pathway and to

3:02

unleash all that players from the second

3:03

team were able to aim for the first team

3:05

and then for the first team boys so then

3:06

they potentially get some game time with

3:08

the second if we need it as well so in

3:11

addition to his offering obviously the

3:13

play inside the things we offer a lot

3:14

many opportunities for students to

3:16

develop off it and so we've created a

3:18

bit of a an snc team so we've got

3:21

strength of conditioning coach that lead

3:23

to all the gym programs and also helped

3:25

on field with the conditioning side of

3:26

things and then we also have a sports

3:28

therapist that's coming in and helping

3:30

with the boys with their recovery and

3:32

post training and post games as well so

3:35

over the next few years would be great

3:36

to see is develop further off field as

3:38

well as on the field so off field the

3:41

aim would be to increase our playing

3:42

numbers significantly and so we would

3:45

love to try and get a third team set up

3:47

and competing on a social level and so

3:50

then that that provides us opportunity

3:52

to develop our second team

3:54

um to train close the Gaff for the first

3:56

team and then for the first team the aim

3:58

is to climb up the leagues and try and

4:01

compete at a higher level than what we

4:04

are currently playing and so hopefully

4:06

we'll be in tier one next year and then

4:08

moving forward into the the premier tier

4:11

as well and seeing if we're able to

4:12

compete further at that level all Fields

4:15

we're trying to grow

4:16

more opportunities for students to gain

4:18

vital experience and to recruiting more

4:21

volunteers to help run the program and

4:24

gain the experience needed to go on to

4:27

life after University

4:32
