I managed to pull Joe Batley away from his busy schedule with Worcester Warriors after he recently signed a contract extension. Joe started at the same rugby club I did (Gosport & Fareham) so it was great to hear about his experience from amateur rugby up to a starting jersey in the Gallagher Premiership.

 The main theme that shone through was education and how important it is to understand the 'why' behind 'what' you are doing in training. We spoke about the current protocols they are following for COVID, his daily and weekly schedules as a premiership rugby player and how to recover physically and mentally.

You can find Joe on Instagram @batsssssssss
