This training manual will be the first in a series of titles, containing the same core information, appealing to tennis, netball, soccer players and possibly for other sports too. Rugby for Real covers all aspects of conditioning for rugby, from fitness drills and exercise programmes to motivation and diet. The focus market is rugby players outside the professional rank - keen amateurs.

Book Overview: Fills a definite gap in the market. Other training manuals assume a higher level of motivation or skill, and demand a bigger commitment than amateur sports people are able to make, which is de-motivating and not effective in the long term. The current market concentrates on in-depth studies of every aspect of conditioning, rather than a down to earth guide for people with busy lives! Beginning of an easily expandable series Has a 'flicker book' element, to show the exact movement needed through 10 drills. These run down the side of the book in a strip. Lilleshall are an extremely well respected organisation that work with many of the Premier football and Rugby League and Union clubs, the LTA and other sporting organisations. This title would not affect sales of our other rugby titles - SAQ concentrate on drills. The Professional Rugby Player's Association and the Women's RFU have endorsed the book
