For this week's Strength Chat it was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with a strength and conditioning coach with over 20 years' experience, spending the last 10 years as the lead strength and conditioning coach with England Rugby Union, Tom Tombleson.

It was great to chat with Tom who has spent so much time at the elite level of sport and get a great insight on what happens off the pitch to make the athlete he works with perform the very best they can. An awesome chat and some great content and information up and coming coaches can learn from.

In this chat, as well as a lot more topics and tangents, we covered:

• The difference between club and international level

• Creating a successful environment

• How manage athletes on tour and throughout a tournament.
