Training Camp
Manaaki New Zealand Rugby Tours focus on more than just the game. Our tours are
designed to ensure your players achieve optimum performance and much of that depends
on what happens off the field.
Nutrition
All meals on tour are prepared fresh and have been specially designed by
nutritional experts to fuel the peak performance of rugby players. Catering for
your team’s nutritional requirements, we ensure each player gets the right mix of
protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals their body needs after a physical
day of training. Our meal plans take into account your team’s tour commitments.
We’ll ensure players have the appropriate food before, during and after games, to
aid recovery. As part of your Manaaki New Zealand Rugby Tour, your team will also
receive nutritional advice from our qualified dietitian which you can implement into
your training schedule post-tour.
Training and facilities
Players will train at New Zealand’s most prestigious rugby training facilities,
including gyms, fitness centres and swimming pools. Each team will receive
purpose-made training programmes that focus on three key phases – preparation,
work and recovery. These will include movement and dynamic prep, functional
movement training, and hot/cold recovery strategies. Our strength and conditioning
coach will analyse video footage of each player prior to the commencement of
the tour to identify any mobility and movement issues, and develop exercises
accordingly. Each programme is individually designed to reduce the risk of injury,
make weaknesses non-existent, and improve a player’s overall speed and strength.
Hudl video analysis
Hudl video analysis software provides teams with valuable insight into their match
performance. Coaches and players can analyse their game performance off the
field, watch set pieces minute by minute, evaluate their game plan and identify
areas where improvements can be made. This software is revolutionising the way
teams around the world prepare for a game, giving them significant advantage over
their competitors. Manaaki New Zealand Rugby Tours will provide all coaches and
team managers with instructions on how to get the most from this software, and
offer ongoing support to enhance the development of your players.
