Off-season training: How we used our FR60 units

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 13:27:38 +0100

The off season has come to an abrupt end and after the final round of trials the squad for the Easter tour has been selected. We look back with much satisfaction at the results gained from the hard work put into the gym and on the training field. Through the use of the Garmin units we were able to create a positive feedback and evaluation system to motivate the boys to achieve higher gains during fitness training. We did the following:...

Work conquers all - Paarl Boys’ High School

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 13:22:22 +0100

Labor omnia vincit. Work conquers all. The pre-season was long and hard. The players could literally not wait for the start of the season. With the first matches looming the atmosphere in the team environment is filled with contained energy. We only have a few matches before the big upcoming tournament at St. Johns and even with all the work put in the pre-season there is still much to do before D-Day. Structures, attack lines, defensive patterns…we want to polish this rough diamond so that it...

A word from Grey College's 1st Team Hooker

A new year, a new start, with an almost uncontrolled energy and enthusiasm amongst our group! The reason: the 2012 Rugby Season, for which we have high expectations. In addition, there is an unnatural urge to complete a task where only the fittest and the strongest will survive. Will the players contribute their skill and showcase their undeniable talent on a higher level than those before them? Some would argue whether that may or not be feasible. One can only respond by judging how the ...

After a hugely successful rugby season during 2011, during which the Affies first rugby team finished in second place on the FNB schools rankings, our players are looking forward to a great 2012 season. Although we are not allowed to have a fulltime off season rugby program, we still put in a few hard conditioning sessions during January & February. The players responded well during these sessions, and the positive attitude that has been developed with regards to these high intensity tra...

Our pre-season training is now in Week 27 and the Grey boys are working very hard for the upcoming season. This year is going to be especially difficult seeing that we shall only play three home games out of the scheduled nineteen games. A week consists of various activities to prepare for the season. We are now in a 4-week training block that consists of two speed -, two video -, two gym -, one fitness - and one wrestling session. During this period we are preparing the players for the tria...

On the road to wearing green and gold

So far this year Garmin has made sure that I am one step ahead of my opponents, being one step ahead is one step better in what I do and how I do it.This year we already played 10 top class games. We toured to the Eastern Cape in April when we played two games against St Andrew College and Marlow. In the second term we travelled to the Kearsney rugby Easter festival. There we played Monnas, Helpmekaar and Kearsney. After the festival we went to Kimberley for the Wildeklawer Tournament and played ...

Thu, 19 May 2011 19:04:49 +0100

Message from the Grey College rugby team captain:Garmin has had a huge influence in my sporting development thus far; I can now take my training to the next level. With my Garmin Set, I can monitor my heart-rate and see the actual running distance covered during any specific training session. It’s great variety of applications such as intervals, heart–rate zones and alerts for calories and distance makes it very useful in practice.I think that the actual value of Garmin would become evident o...
