Neck strengthening exercises
In rugby we tackle with our shoulders. The head is part of that shoulder complex so we have to make sure we are also strong in the neck. Female necks are considerably weaker than males therefore it is important that we not only warm up the neck area before contact but we spend time strengthening this area during the week.
