Preparing for Success in a World Cup Year Sarah Chantler, Stacey Emmonds, Ben Jones, Ross Shand and Sean Scantlebury
Event details
York is proud to be a host city for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup this autumn. Warm up for this exciting global event by hearing from those tasked with the planning and organisation of team England representative squads.
With a particular focus on the England women’s team, Rugby Football League Head of Performance Ben Jones; England Women’s Strength and Conditioning Coach Stacey Emmonds; and Women’s Rugby League Researcher Sean Scantlebury will discuss the evolution of the women’s game, and how scientific research has been used to support performance and welfare initiatives.
York is preparing to welcome the New Zealand men's team and the Australia, Cook Islands, France and New Zealand women’s teams, and is hosting women’s semi-finals between 9 to 14 November.
This is your chance to gain insights from behind the scenes and to discover the level of detail undertaken to prepare for success, to meet aspirations and ultimately to raise the profile of the women’s, men’s and wheelchair game in a home World Cup year.
This is a YouTube Premiere event. You’ll be sent a link to the screening a couple of days before it takes place, as well as a reminder an hour before.
