Blending science, art and coaching: Tactical periodization for rugby

The tactical periodisation model has been widely used in soccer as a holistic performance model that allows for the technical, tactical, physical and psychological to be trained within the same coaching session. More recently, high profile rugby coaches have stated that they have begun to use the model and approach within their rugby coaching. This talk describes the methods and how it can be used to improve team performance.
