What happens when you retire from your team sport?

The games stop.

The habits don’t.

For years, rugby was my focus. As a forward, my goal was simple:

Get bigger.
Get stronger.
Become harder to move at scrum time.

Carrying extra weight wasn’t a problem—it was often an advantage.

At my heaviest, I weighed 121kg.

Strong? Absolutely. Probably the strongest I’ve ever been.

Healthy? That’s debatable.

The problem is nobody really talks about what happens when rugby starts to disappear from your life.

The training volume drops.

The matches stop.

The structure disappears.

The injuries remind you they’re still there every morning.

But the eating habits and the drinking habits often stay exactly the same.

That’s where many former players get caught out.

These days, I’m still chasing strength.

But I’m also trying to lose some body fat so I can move better, feel better and stay capable.

Not because I want six-pack abs.

Not because I want to look like a fitness influencer.

At 41 years old, I couldn’t care less about that.

I want a body that still works.

One that allows me to coach athletes, demonstrate movements properly, enjoy family life and stay active for years to come.

The goal isn’t to be the biggest bloke in the room.

The goal is to be the most capable.

Because rugby may finish.

But looking after yourself shouldn’t.

Has rugby retirement—or simply getting older while still playing—changed how you think about training?

Drop me a DM and let’s chat about staying strong, fit and athletic in your 40s and beyond.

🏉 Strength & Conditioning Announcement 🏉

I can officially announce that I have the great honour of becoming the Strength & Conditioning Coach for

Having played my final years of rugby with the lads, it’ll be great to finally be on the other side of pre-season for once.

We’ll begin with a solid block of General Physical Preparedness to build the foundations the squad needs, before progressing into structured overload phases and finally focusing on specificity — ensuring the lads are physically prepared and ready to perform come August.

Excited for the work ahead.

Funny weekend, went to watch the Butnham first 15 take on Clacton to win the league, Clacton turned up with a bare 15 so In true rugby fashion myself and few other stepped up to support them. A big win for Burnham and a couple of clips of me jogging round the field, a carry , couple of lineout steels and a tackle with terrible technique. Thanks to for giving us a few minutes , I’m in claret wearing no19
