Description

From 1980 Ian King began training athletes professionally, including rugby players. This was noticed and in 1986 Ian was approached by an Australian Wallaby to train his provincial team, the Queensland Reds. The inaugural Rugby World Cup was held in 1987, the first of many that Ian was involved in contributing to. In 1988 Ian was approached to train rugby players in the about to be created Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Rugby Unit. In 1989, Ian was approached to train the Australian squad for the 1991 Rugby World Cup. This meant Ian was working with every talent-identified rugby union player in Australia post high-school. Following the creation of the ACT Brumbies in late 1995, the players also asked Ian’s guidance in shaping their journey during the next decade. During Ian’s contribution to provincial and Australian rugby union spanning decades, Australian teams won five Super Tittles and two Rugby World Cups. This is Ian’s story of the trials, tribulations and successes during that period of time, giving you an untold insight into what it takes to dominate in rugby.

Conclusion

Kingy, we were blessed you were there when you were. You took many of us to a level we wouldn’t have got to, and we will always be in your debt. One of your greatest skills which you never speak of is the mindset you helped create. You were part psychologist and gave us the discipline and the confidence in equal measures. The confidence by doing the hard and smart work and reinforcing we were doing things others wouldn’t, and so we were ahead. The 1-1 stretching, painful flick massages, personalized weights, speed and nutrition programs, booking specialist surgeons and physicians… there wasn’t anything you wouldn’t do for us to ensure we performed at our best. You were and always will be ‘the master’.—Daniel Herbert (67 Australian Wallaby Caps, 124 Queensland Reds Caps, Queensland Reds Captain, Australian Wallabies Vice-Captain

Thank you for all your help during my rugby career. You have had the single biggest influence in allowing me to achieve my goals and for that I am forever grateful. Your ability to place the athlete ahead of all else is one of your greatest qualities. Thanks again.– Brett Robinson (16 Australian Wallaby Caps, 43 ACT Brumbies Caps, Inaugural Brumbies Captain)

I have had over a dozen different trainers in my career. Ian King ‘The Master’ was the only one that put his athlete’s optimal preparation first. This more often meant quality and not quantity. Ian’s scientific research and credibility, combined with his high-standards and peer credibility commands his address as ‘The Master’.  For each team that Ian King was involved with in strength and preparation, there was a couple of similarities:

  • The athletes a very low rate of injuries
  • The athletes had a higher success rate that their peers under other programs
  • The athletes went into competition with an uncompromising attitude and preparedness that was noted by the players themselves, coaches, and opposition.

–Andrew (Ox) Heath (8 Australian Wallaby Caps, 8 NSW Waratahs Caps, 17 Qld Reds Caps)

Master, you had the single biggest influence in my career. Thank you as always. You will continue to influence others. It has always been your way.—Rod Kafer (12 Wallaby Caps, 89 ACT Brumbies Caps)

2 reviews for A NEW RELEASE: You Can’t Do That! (Ebook)

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Liam Keats (verified owner) – April 2, 2023

    This book gives the reader raw insights into the history of Australian rugby and what it takes to win and lose. Ians commitment to putting the athlete first is incredible and rarely delivered beyond lip service. This artefact gives the reader raw and real experiences from a coach who sparked change in Australian Rugby in late 80’s to late 90’s and early 00’s. A time some will remember (and forget) as the ‘golden era’ of Australian Rugby.

    Thank you Ian for sharing your insights into what it takes to win , and what it takes to lose.

  2. Rated 5 out of 5

    Don Cameron (verified owner) – April 3, 2023

There are easy to understand professional guidelines for winning, while still maintaining good health and generally enjoying playing.
