Cognitive Coaching - The Front Row Club's Rugby Drills

Fact: Players lose 13% of your ability to make a decision when your VO2 max is at 50%. translated As soon as 5-10 minutes into the game players start to tire and they can make 'dumb' decisions. Do you have players who 'look' but don't 'see' and you can't understand why? Ken Franks (Franks Brothers Performance gym), has successfully developed programs in the gym to test players under stress and improve their decision making when fatigued. Are they effective? Just ask the current super rugby champions - the Crusaders! Note to coach: Players do not intentionally make 'bad' decisions on the field. Your role - help them make better ones and not to ridicule the bad ones! Note to player: The fitter I am and the more I perform under stress the better my performance will be!

Excellent video!

Top notch Ken. Love the idea of my tighthead going from a big squat into a scrum while visualising a scrum to win the game. Definitely going to introduce it into our S&C sessions

Fantastic. Lightbulb moment for myself as a qualified S & C Coach as well as running a High School Specialised Rugby Program, this is something I will defiantly be exploring. ????

Maurits Bruns — Australia

Great stuff thank u Mr Franks Senior. Now, I’d love to get the low down on how you mark performance for the peripheral vision side of lifting please.

Loveni Enari — Spain

Really appreciate the value of connecting mentally the mechanics and the movement with the process. Often overlooked that the most important rep is the last one! #musclememory #cognitiveconnecting

Tyler Leggatt — Canada

Great session. Coming up with different ways to help players make more good decisions when tired is critical. Really hard to train for.

David Chapman — Ireland
