AUSTIN HUNS RUGBY ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH KETTLEBELL KINGS

AUSTIN, TEXAS (May 18, 2017) – Huns Rugby Management is excited to announce a new 4-year partnership with Kettlebell Kings as the official supplier of kettlebells for the team.

The partnership will provide the team access to premium brand kettlebells used by top-level athletes, helping the athletes to get ready for their upcoming year in Major League Rugby. Kettlebells are an ideal training tool for rugby athletes because of their versatility in their ability to build endurance and stamina as well as power and strength.

“Our professional athletes have a really intense training regimen leading up to and during each season, and it’s important to not only have the right training strategy, but also the best tools,” says HRM General Manager Thierry Daupin. “And we are so fortunate to have a great partner like Kettlebell Kings to provide our players top-quality equipment.”

“We are really excited to be working with the Huns Rugby Management,” says Kettlebell Kings Co-Founder Jay Perkins. “We decided we wanted to be a part of rugby in the United States after watching the world championships last year. We are always on the lookout for great partners like them, where we can help each other reach our individual goals together. We are really excited about the position and direction of rugby in the United States as well as the Austin team, which is why we wanted to be a part of it.”
