This is a YouTube video titled "Achieve Strength in Rugby with Only Three Weekly Workouts" featuring Beverley Simpson discussing an in-season strength training program for rugby players. Beverley emphasizes the importance of limiting strength workouts to three per week to allow for recovery alongside team training and matches, particularly focusing on single-leg exercises relevant to rugby performance. The content is instructional and aimed at athletes, especially women, to optimize strength training without overtraining.

For an in season program. No more than three strength focused workouts a week which doesn't sound very much but when you're also going to train with your team and you also probably have a match that week it's plenty because you need the time to recover to make sure that you actually perform. And the thing that I find with so many women in particular is that they go well I just feel like I just need to get the gym because I don't feel strong and I just need to keep going and keep trying and they feel crap and they never get the power they want and they constantly feel like they're letting themselves down and so I just try and reel it back and go like this is all you need to do three workouts. I you know we'll make sure we include all the main aspects and we'll always include a lot of single leg stuff because you know you're hardly ever using both your legs at the same time in a rugby game.
