Скачать или смотреть Elite Rugby Speed Training All Over the World with Jonathan Ward | Between 2 Sprints

In this episode of Between 2 Sprints, we talk with Jonathan Ward, current strength and conditioning coach with the Bristol Bears and one of the most versatile 1080 users anywhere in rugby. Jonathan has coached across Australia, France, and the UK, working with elite athletes across multiple systems while refining how he uses motorized resistance to drive speed development

We get into his first exposure to the 1080 in France, how he experimented his way into resisted sprints, assisted acceleration, and variable loading, and how he now integrates five Sprint units into the flow of a pro rugby club. If you're into resisted sprinting, force-velocity profiling, or using tech to individualize for wildly different body types, this one has a lot to steal

What we cover
-Jonathan’s path from Australia to France to the Bristol Bears
-Early days learning the 1080 and experimenting with assisted/resisted work
-How rugby athletes of different sizes demand different setups
-Why he shifted strong athletes to assisted acceleration and variable loading
-How he uses 50 to 30 percent VDEC drops over specific distances
-Coaching cues for variable loading and common errors he sees
-How he integrates the 1080 into team environments with high buy-in
-Why competition and live feedback improve intent and outcomes
-His go-to homework for new 1080 users: resisted runs and load-velocity profiling
-When to progress to variable resistance and assisted work

More conversations coming with coaches using motorized resistance to individualize speed, acceleration, and profiling. Stay tuned for deeper dives into resisted sprints, assisted work, and the systems behind elite speed training
