The Rugby Innovation Summit South Africa is the only sporting conference targeted to elite and grass roots, withinnovation and applicability at its core. A truly global event boasting some of rugby and sports leading coaches, medical and performance and sports scientists it is absolutely essential for all involved in coaching, sports science and sports medicine.
Since Rugby Union turned professional following the hugely successful Rugby World Cup in South Africa in 1995 the game has evolved at an incredible speed, with players becoming bigger, stronger and fitter than ever before. With the influx of technology, data analytics and video analysis over the last decade rugby has become more systematic, and well coached than ever before.
A consequence we have seen a dramatic improvement in defence as teams have become more difficult to break down. Understanding how to break down defences and introduce innovative and effective attack philosophies has never been more critical.
The Rugby Innovation Summit, South Africa 2016 has been carefully designed to optimise attack, improve performance and reduce injury, across every level of the game.
Through a combination of content driven presentations, seminars and masterclasses we combine presentations with live demonstration and player testing. We break down all the various components, fromphysical conditioning, skill development, mental training, decision making, coaching strategy, technology innovation and injury prevention all within the overarching umbrella of how to improve attacking play.
The summit is split into a variety of streams and will provide a variety of immediate and long term takeaways, specific to and applicable across all levels of the game.
