The 'Training Playbook' serves as a guide, emphasising self-directed training and supplementary exercises tailored to enhance your skills in the Ruck position.
You will be exposed to the level of various training methods that shaped and maintained the 14-year AFL career that Jeff White was able to achieve.
All the training concepts detailed in this playbook comprehensively address various facets of playing in the ruck.
These include:
For adept jumpers, like myself, strategies to maximise impact at centre bounces and stop plays.
Guidance for tall and robust individuals on optimising body positioning across all areas.
Insights for shorter rucks with jumping prowess, focusing on creating advantageous angles.
Techniques for ideal body positioning during throw-ins.
Considerations for timing your leap precisely during centre bounces.
Recommendations for optimal body positioning at throw-ins.
Specialised training to enhance strength in second and third efforts.
This comprehensive foundation not only ensures physical readiness but also instills mental confidence, empowering you to enter each game with the assurance of superior preparation compared to your opposing ruck.
