The following roadmap outlines the key phases of Joshua’s training journey, ensuring safe, effective, and progressive development.
As highlighted in the performance results, Josh’s strong aerobic capacity and initial acceleration, while also indicating that upper-body power and agility are key opportunities for development.
To support improvements in these areas, it is recommended that Josh prioritizes foundational strength training during the upcoming off-season. Enhanced strength will underpin gains in both power and speed by increasing the rate of force production, and will also contribute to injury resilience and overall athletic robustness.
As the season progresses, training can be periodized to shift focus toward rugby-specific power, sprint mechanics, and plyometric work, ensuring a seamless transition from foundational development to sport-specific performance.
Integrating movement quality and recovery strategies alongside physical training will help optimize development and minimize injury risk.
Regular collaboration with Josh’s coach is encouraged to individualize the training plan, set clear goals, and adapt focus areas as Josh progresses.
A follow-up assessment in 3–4 months is advised to monitor progress, celebrate improvements, and refine priorities as needed.
