WATCH: Ireland international Ian Madigan reveals his preparation secrets

JOE

Brought to you by Avonmore Protein Milk. 

“It is not just about the 80 mins on the pitch, it is the time put in before that too.”

Ian Madigan is about to face the toughest challenge of his professional career, but the incoming Bordeaux flyhalf didn’t get to the top without overcoming obstacles.

Of course, he was given a huge amount of natural talent, but there is so much more required to perform at the top level. It’s all about the nutrition, the stretching, the gym work, the hydrating, the prehab, the rehab, the sleep and the passion.

The old saying ‘fail to prepare and prepare to fail’ can be adjusted for the rugby world to state ‘fail to prepare and you’ll get absolutely smashed.’

That’s why the Ireland international is part of Avonmore Protein Milk’s new ‘Get in Session’ campaign. Here he is demonstrating what needs to be done to be at the very highest level of your game.

If you need anymore inspiration, Avonmore have set up a fantastic training hub where other high profile sports stars share their tips and training drills. You can check it out here.
