ABOUT US

At PEAK RUGBY, our mission is to help young rugby athletes to build a solid foundation for long-term success through rugby-specific functional strength training and tailored supplementation. We’re dedicated to bridging the gap between poor training practices, inadequate nutrition, and peak performance. By focusing on enhancing strength, mobility, and resilience, we help athletes unlock their full potential—both physically and nutritionally—while reducing the risk of injury.

OUR STORY

PEAK RUGBY was founded from a deep passion for rugby and a personal journey of athletic development. As a former professional rugby player from France, Coach Mathieu spent years training at the highest level. Upon transitioning to coaching sports-specific strength and conditioning in the U.S., he observed an alarming trend: high injury rates among young rugby players, a pattern that should not be prevalent in this age group.

KEY CHALLENGES

Through his experience, Coach Mathieu identified several key challenges hindering the development of these athletes, including:

  • Limited Mobility & Flexibility

    Insufficient ability to move through full ranges of motion, increasing susceptibility to injuries.

  • Sleep Deprivation

    Lack of quality sleep hampers recovery, mental clarity and overall athletic performance.

  • Suboptimal Nutrition

    Poor dietary choices and inconsistent meal habits undermine energy levels and recovery.

  • Inadequate Hydration

    Insufficient water intake impairs performance and slows recovery.

  • Improper Strength Training

    Emphasis on lifting heavy weights with poor form rather than focusing on rugby-specific functional strength.

  • Lack of Coordination

    Deficiencies in motor skills needed to meet the physical demands of the sport.
