Step up your game Developing your junior's agility can help improve their game by avoiding more tackles, finding more gaps and scoring more tries. By training these movements from a young age, we can start to imprint movement patterns, making them more efficient in these movements as they age. Here are some tips on creating better agility and skill in your junior's game. 1. Strength Training - I believe strength is king and the feeder to all other skills. Whether it's bodyweight training, power band training or gym training, If our juniors get stronger in general and in specific movement patterns, it will allow them to punch more force and power into the ground, which will propel them in those desired directions more efficiently. 2. Plyometric exercises: Plyometric exercises, such as jumping and bounding, can help improve leg power which is essential for quick directional changes. Incorporating plyometrics into your juniors training program can help them become more explosive and agile on the field. 3. Explosive movements: Rugby league is a sport that requires quick and explosive movements, so it's important to incorporate exercises that focus on speed and power. Sprints, hurdle jumps, med ball throws and box jumps are all great exercises for developing explosive movements. 4. Change of direction drills: Rugby league players need to be able to change direction quickly, so practising change of direction drills is essential. It's also important to note that these drills should be performed at 100% effort and intent, so getting plenty of rest in between efforts is mandatory, just like sprint training. 5. Partner drills: Practicing with a partner or small group can help juniors simulate game scenarios and create actual real game agility. These drills could include shadowing each other, mirroring each other's movements or playing small-sided games that require quick changes of direction. Your junior can get all the training they need to improve their agility at tThe Junior Beast Academy. Hit the link in bio to find out more.

Don't shy away from the grind, it's what separates the greats from the rest. Remember, success is earned, not given. Push harder, dig deeper, and rise above the tough times. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #athlete #brisbane #instarugby #nrl #personaltrainer #queensland #rugby #rugby4life #rugbyclub #rugbyfamily #rugbygirls #rugbygram #rugbyleague #rugbylife #rugbylove #rugbypicture #rugbyplayer #rugbyplayers #rugbyteam #rugbytraining #toughlove #neverquit #athletes #riseabove"
