What others have said
"TJ has given us a fantastic insight into how rugby players, and really most athletes, should train. Amateur rugby players often fail to progress due to poor weekly structure, not lack of effort. here TJ's playbook gives us a framework to train smarter, balance recovery, and perform at peak on game day. It's obvious years of real world coaching and rugby experience has been distilled down into a format that not only explains it on a level that everyone gets but also that everyone can understand so they can start making their own, informed, choices. If you're a player or aspiring coach I can't say enough goo things about how this book will improve your performance and knowledge."
