Player Profiling
The purpose of a player profile is to help coaches and trainers make sure that players are ready to perform, so they get the most of the game.![](/uploads/media/default/32/2a/c25c3cf88788bb3876539d0036418814cb96628f.jpeg)
Before the season kicks off, coaches must run a series of checks to make sure their players are in the best shape possible.
· What are their players physical attributes? And are they fit enough for the level they want to play?
· Do they have the technical skill, ability and strength for the grade they want to play?
· If returning from injuries, have the players been fully rehabilitated and free from symptoms?
So, what does a player’s profile look like? It should provide information in these key areas:
· Personal contact and next of kin details
· Medical history
· Cardiac questionnaire
· Lifestyle and fitness information
· History of injury, including concussions and degenerative conditions
· Previous rugby and positional experience
So profile ALL your players – sit down with them at the start of the year and get to know them.
