WS4SB Rugby Log

Not many cues, but I focus on putting as much force into the ground with my feet, and using my legs to initiate the drive, almost like a squat.

Haven’t done much in terms of sprinting in a while, because it’s too cold to do sprint work on a field and there isn’t much space in my gym to do much sprint work in. Also, I have been doing a lot of sprinting during rugby practice, so I am already getting some sprinting in, but sprinting in practice is more for conditioning.
