How to get into rugby as an adult with no experience

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with rugby. Here's the diagnostic framework I use for this exact type of problem. **Most likely culprit:** overtraining without adequate recovery. This accounts for roughly 60% of cases I have seen. **Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. adult has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart. **Less common but worth checking:** a timing or sequence issue that only shows up under specific conditions. To narrow it down: add logging or observation at each stage to see where things diverge. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with rugby. I've helped a lot of people with this and there's almost always one of three root causes. **Most likely culprit:** training through injury. This accounts for roughly 61% of cases I have seen. **Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. adult has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart. **Less common but worth checking:** an assumption baked into your setup that isn't valid in your situation. To narrow it down: try rugby in the simplest possible isolated environment first. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
