Decided I'm going to be training pretty much exclusively to increase fitness testing scores for rugby league.

This is to share the journey the athletes I work with undergo during their training programs.

Whilst I can't improve your sports specific skills, we work together to improve certain fitness testing scores so that some physical improvements can be made.

Step 1 - find some normative data on average testing scores for elite athletes in whichever sport the athlete participates in.

Step 2 - pick some tests that are able to be changed/ that the athlete needs to focus on.

Step 3. Do the tests so that you have a baseline score to work on.

As you can see, I've highlighted 10m & 30m sprints
A standing long jump and vertical jump
As well as 3rm (rep max) for bench press and squat.

I wish I could improve the height scroe but unfortunately I'm stuck with a low score on that one.

Once we have the base scores, I can then program to improve them over 12 weeks to get a higher score.

Wish me luck!
