Working with the Melbourne Rugby Club

In my life outside of maxxfit I work with the Melbourne Rugby Club. It has only been two months since I started to help with their strength and conditioning, however it is fantastic to be back in a rugby environment. For the past two years prior to moving to Melbourne I worked with the Norths Devils Queensland Cup Rugby League Club. The two codes are equally as challenging in regard to managing players needs, however Rugby is what I have been involved with for most of my life and it nice to be back..
We have three games remaining in the regular season, then we push into the finals. As we have already won the minor premiership the coaches are trying to iron out the last minute combinations and my job is to help keep the boys sharp and ready to be at peak performance on game day. A heavy emphasis is also focused on proper recovery and nutrition post match.
Today we play Footscray, they are a very physical side but the boys should rise to the challenge and come home strong.
