Forwards Factory
A few years ago legend Jannie Brooks and Richard Bands joined forces with a vision to create the 1st Forwards Factory in South Africa. Both Jannie and Richard are highly respected in their fields of expertise and have been training and developing many forward athletes in private sessions in recent years.
It can be said that if these legends put their stamp of approval on a forward athlete he carries a trademark “BROOKS AND BANDS” certified. Many legendary Springbok coaches endorse training and development techniques of these legends, and if they are recommended by the BROOKS AND BANDS duo, a professional coach can be rest assured of the quality of player he will be investing in.
Jannie and Richard’s techniques are considered “old school”, however their technical knowledge and skills to produce forward athletes with the correct physical power and strength whilst also focussing on weak areas of their physicality and skills in the forwards position, are nothing but exemplary.
It is a great honour, to have these specialist coaches part of the Harlequins International Rugby Institute Coaching team. They are passionate about producing the next professional national and international forward athletes and equally passionate about their injury prevention and rehabilitation.
