THE UNIQUE, INNOVATIVE, PROFESSIONAL PATHWAY
FOR ASPIRING MALE & FEMALE RUGBY TALENT
The Rugby Institute is the UK's first truly holistic approach to athlete & player development and high performance. Our unique athlete management systems connect athletic performance, skill development, education, careers and personal growth to form the foundations of a "high performing human". We aim to inspire the next generation of both male and female elite rugby players to reach their potential in the sport but more importantly, understand the endless possibilities that come from investing in themselves.
OUR PILLARS
01 Rugby IQ
The willingness to challenge your broader skillset, gain a greater understanding of the game in its entirety and being open to new ideas to develop your skillset as an athlete.
02 Creativity
Creativity is an essential part of sports performance, and it's the ability to be innovative, unusual, and unique. Creative athletes can come up with unexpected solutions to problems, and are less predictable.
03 Application
The ability to think clearly and execute a skill under pressure consistently is key to becoming a high performer. Knowing your skill limitations and having a wider understanding of the game adds signifiant value to your purpose within a team environment.
The "Engine Room" of The Rugby Institute is a network of global rugby professionals who will assist the onsite institute pathway coaches with the development of each athlete. Rugby is one of the most unique team sports on the planet and the values of teamwork, support, bravery and togetherness is the cornerstone for our "Stronger Together" ethos.
OUR ETHOS
ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT
The Rugby Institute's athlete development partner, ADC, is responsible for high performance management, highly skilled coaching systems and athletic development. The ADC systems implement high quality neuro-physical progressive conditioning programmes to enable individuals of any age to continuously develop their movement to meet and exceed their goals on the field. Our high performance coaching team work with the individual to specifically design programs and training schedules that meet the needs of their development so they can achieve their goals.
EDUCATION & CAREERS
In any professional sport, there are no guarantees that an athlete will have a very successful career as a professional sports person. We understand the importance of managing individuals expectations but we also advocate ambition and drive to reach true potential. Parallel to "on-field' development, TRI champions equal importance for participating in high quality education, work experience and we emphasise career readiness. This is to complement an athletes physical, skill and mental development. We have chosen to work with renowned education and career providers to create a flexible and respectable education program.
PERSONAL GROWTH
At the Rugby Institute we do not have set parameters to what "success" is. Instead we create a high performance, high quality enjoyable environment that ensures each individual athlete is highly ambitious, self driven, resilient and has a vision that is realistic and achievable. We put a greater emphasis on developing a consistent "high performing human" both on and off the field with a very strong focus on specific performance movement, injury prevention, recovery methods, sports psychology, nutrition, social media management and high performance self analysis.
