Steroids in School Boy Rugby..

May 30, 2011 0 Comments

This is a very sensitive subject that needs to be discussed.

 

We know that a lot of School Boys are taking steroids to get bigger and perform better (or so they think)

 

Yesterday the Sunday Times published the following article on this subject:

Why do I think this is happening?

 

A lot of coaches are putting too much emphasis on size. Therefor a lot of players use a “supplement” to increase their size. Players are also uneducated because they believe they bigger they are the better they’ll be. This is not true at all!

 

 

Every player should follow a LTAD (Long Term Athletic Development) system to achieve size, strength and speed over time!

 

Would really like to hear your input on this – I will be covering more on this topic in my upcoming book.

 

All the Best!
