Will Evans
“U18 Wales”
The Blues was great for me to work with. Their coaching philosophy helped me understand what would be needed in an elite athletic environment. They made me work hard, but the results were amazing. I couldn’t recommend The Blues highly enough. Their knowledge, enthusiasm and support has been brilliant. Thank you

“It’s about developing great people”
The Blues isn’t just about developing great rugby players – it’s about developing great people. The program has been instrumental in shaping my personality and character, teaching me valuable communication and leadership skills. It’s helped me dig deeper, understand the “why” behind what we do on the field, and translate that into real-game performance.
Sure, we learn about the importance of speed and strength – essential tools for any rugby player. But The Blues goes beyond the physical. It emphasises gym safety, a crucial element for any athlete. Most importantly, it teaches us about “strength in contact” – not just physical contact on the field, but the mental and emotional strength needed to overcome challenges and to lead by example.

“I’ve come back stronger and more physically resilient each time”
The Blues program has enabled me to get fitter and stronger, since joining at 14 years old.
It has given me a greater understanding of what I am capable of achieving. The team have supported me through a number of rehabs, and ensured I’ve been able to continue my training. Coming back stronger and more physically resilient each time.
I believe the knowledge, training, and support of the Blues team and fellow athletes was instrumental in my successful selection for the Harlequins Womens’ Centre of Excellence (COE) squad for the 2023/24 season.
Hayden
“Joined the Blues 2 years ago”
I was looking for a coaching group that would help him with his conversion from Flanker to Centre. The Blues has helped him develop speed. The Blues has improved his rugby and this year he made the Surrey U18 team and the regional trials. The Blues has guided him through the injuries. That it what I hoped for, what I hadn’t banked on was how much the Blues have developed as a person. He has loved every session and turned up to as many session as he could. Thanks to Will and Hannah for all their guidance over the past 2 years and focusing as much on Hayden the person as Hayden the player. Hayden is very sad to leave the Blues but he is in Nottingham so the commute is a bit too long! I am sure he will stay in touch

Personalised Sports Rehabilitation
The Blues programme, led by Will Page, provides personalized sports rehabilitation, focusing on both physical recovery and mental well-being. Will’s empathy, expertise, and holistic approach helped my son overcome a serious spinal injury, regain his confidence, and thrive in rugby, teaching invaluable life skills for long-term health and sports success.
Sam
“Will helped Sam recover much quicker than expected”
Blues has helped Sam in a numbers of ways, particularly in managing and dealing with injuries. He had a bad shoulder injury and Will helped Sam recover much quicker than expected.
Harry
“The Blues helped me improve my strength”
The Blues has helped me greatly in all aspects including rugby, physical shape and mentality. Having only played rugby for a year before joining and being in poor shape, The Blues helped me improve my strength and conditioning considerably and improved my game as an all round athlete. It allowed me to get to a high level in my sport as well as helping me adopt the mentality of an elite performer. Being part of a supportive community where everyone wants other to be the best they can be gave me the confidence to improve as an athlete both physically and mentally.
