I’m joined for a second time on the podcast by Ross Hanbury, a referee fitness specialist who’s been working with various referee societies and referees for some years now.
We talk about all sorts of things through this episode – from finding small ways to keep mobile while stuck working from home, to getting started again, staying fit when clubs can’t train, as well as some mobility and speed suggestions.
We also go through the various fitness tests – Bleep test, YoYo test, and Bronco test – which rugby referees can do to set a benchmark for future attainment. And we also cover some advice for those of you who may be of more advanced years.
To contact Ross to discuss his 16-week referee fitness programmes, drop him an email at rosshanbury@gmail.com or find him at @rugbyrefereesnc on Instagram.
If you have any ideas or topics you’d like to hear about, or guests you’d like to hear from in future podcasts, drop me a line at ref@rugbyreferee.net
