    An underrated skill that not many scrum halves use these days. A very useful skill to have in your locker as a 9. Good tutorial.

    Hi am 14 year old boy can you please share any tips on how to become a better fullback I am fast amd good with high balls

  • @DeLaSports
    @DeLaSports2 ай бұрын

    Hi hope you are doing well. Thank you for the support and question. As a fullback it's very important to work well with both wingers. Work on your communication, positioning, and organizational skills. Be demanding and clear, that builds good confidence as the fullback is normally the last line of defense. What is your SUPERPOWER? If you say you are fast, make sure you utilize that.... One of the most important things to be really good at is tackling. Practice Tackling: 1) Front tackle 2) Side tackle 3) Double tackle 4) Tackle from behind (linebreak chase) Hope this helps. Keep up the good work and all the best.

  • @DeLaSports
    @DeLaSports8 ай бұрын

    Hi Kevin thanks for your message. The dominant hand must Be behind and underneath the ball. Make sure the ball is resting in the palm of your hand with your fingertips as this gives good grip to get the nice Spiral. As you push ot punch the ball away spread your fingers wide around the ball and punch towards the target not swinging. Finish Inline with the target. Have u seen my short video on the handshake? Both hands is behind the ball. I didn't change hand position. I hope that helps

    I have included most of the tips in this video. But running straight is key. You need to constantly improve your intelligent running lines to he manipulative towards the defence and very deceptive. That will make u unpredictable and extremely difficult to play against. Learn how to delay your run. And run from depth to be able to run straight. Ur first 2 metres should be straight.

    Hi coach, I am a 14 year old centre who is willing to do whatever it takes to become a professional. I have already developed a pretty good physique for my age and am pretty fast. I watch all your vids and think you are the best rugby youtuber. I have been utilised all over the field playing flanker, winger and have also been utilised as prop. Any tips or advice for me to take my game to the next level as a centre and an all around player?

  • @DeLaSports
    @DeLaSports9 ай бұрын

    Thank you very much for your message and support and for watching all my videos! That is great news what you are doing at your age. You are at the right stage to explore different positions and methods. At your age the stage is called train to train. Meaning building good habits and consistency. Work on your peripheral vision for the next 4 years. For example you can take a golf ball or small rubber ball and play against the wall hand tennis. Gentle left and right hand hitting the ball in a safe place where u have space for 18 mins a day. 1 year of this is 100 hours and it will put you ahead of 95% of players that don't do it. This activity helps your hand and eye coordination and decision making skills. If you are not already trying different sports for example basketball to help with off loading and agility. Swimming and even wrestling. This will help with contact skills. Swimming works all the muscles and helps with endurance. These are just a few examples. Keep up the good work and all the best

  • @DeLaSports

    Sorry for the late reply. I'm not a qualified nutritionist but when I was younger and wanted to build more muscle I focused on getting stronger in the gym. I worked with a specialist in South Africa. I didn't take supplements and focused on real nutritient dense food. For example I would have rolled oats in the morning after training with berries. By lunch time we would have egg white omlette and veggies non starchy like cucumber peppers onions. We sometimes had a big thick slice of sourdough bread. Snacks would be nuts but not loads. Almonds Brazil hazelnuts. Dinner would be spaghetti bolognese or chicken with loads of steeamed veg like cauliflower and broccoli. we would stay away from sauce with sugar in, no desserts and no drinking soda or alcohol. If we ate anything sweet it would be like a homemade scone. If you are able to I would get in touch with a sports nutritionist. In off season I trained twice a day my food was then adapted. I would suggest developing good habits and it will help for playing at a higher level. I hope that helps
