[QUOTE="will311293, post: 1066859, member: 73664"] This is a really good point... I was lucky enough to go to Marlborough College/Cheltenham College who have always had good ties to Premiership Academies (Especially Cheltenham with Glouester) but the time i trained with London Irish Academy/Counties was through Newbury Rugby Club. Enfield are a good club and the 1's are in London 2 NW which is a strong league. Use the club as your base to grow your options but utilise the club and the coaches you have. There are clubs who will have the connections to academies and coaches such as Sarries (nearish to Enfield) will be about and will pick up on your talent if your good enough. But as i said, it's about attitude, listen to your coaches, ask additional advice, practice your core skills but also build your game around your Nutirition, Sleep, Body Weight Control, Aerobic Fitness. If i had my time back, I'd have focused on all these areas but also make sure you keep the enjoyment to rugby. Essentially its about playing hard, having fun and enjoying your time with good mates.
