You may not know this but I’ve been a fan of Rugby for many years. They aren’t the Giants, but I can appreciate any group of people dedicated to training hard and getting the job done. Today, I’ll be talking about just that. A man named John Pryor is an excellent example of the type of people needed behind the scenes that are shaping the face of sports.

He utilizes strategies that are goal oriented and have high expectations. His strength is his ability to conduct research in the field of bio-mechanics and physiology. This enables him to approach training based on specific individual circumstances. He is responsible for the development of the training programs for the Japan Rugby Union.
