#115 - Simon Elkinson - How much is too much?

My guest this week is my former Esher S&C Coach - Simon Elkinson   This interview was recorded in July of 2023 and we talked about Elko's playing days in Ireland and the importance of a dominant and disciplined tighthead for a hooker, his troubles with injuries and how it hampered his progress in senior rugby, the role of an S&C coach at different levels of the game and how to get the best out of teams taking into account the amount of time you have with the players.   There are tons of great stories and some real value in this quality episode - I hope you enjoy!   LINKS Simon Elkinson on Twitter - @OnsideRecruiter - https://twitter.com/OnsideRecruiter Simon Elkinson on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonelkinson/ Esher RFC - https://www.esherrugby.com/   PATREON Join The Amateur Rugby Podcast Patreon community for some extra amateur rugby goodness!
