5.0 out of 5 stars At last here is the professional book which missed about Rugby periodization! , 23 Oct 2008
By Philippe Perinet - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Through Tudor Bompa's theories and through the richness of his own practical experiments, Fred Claro peels in-depth the physiological needs for both amateur & professional Rugby players. He shows the great importance of knowing how to create an efficient training periodization to cope with more & more competitions, and to improve the physical, tactical & technical training & games' phases.

Far from the generic physical preparation copied by the majority of northern hemisphere's clubs, Fred focuses on the need of respecting the various segments of the athletic development, & brilliantly shows with details & easiness the importance of the specific training design related to sport's ergogenesis.

This book is undoubtedly the only complete work introducing to general sport's periodization in a part, and specifically focusing on Rugby's periodization.
It definitively is an essential coaching tool for both professional & amateur Rugby.
