But beyond brute force and fast breaks, success in professional rugby hinges on something deeper: adaptability, mental toughness, and an unwavering commitment to growth. Few players embody that balance better than Luke White and Nate Augspurger of the Chicago Hounds.<\/p>\n<p>They play vastly different roles on the field\u2014White, the battle-hardened bruiser in the forward pack, and Augspurger, the elusive, lightning-fast back\u2014but share the same core philosophies: train smart, recover diligently, and lead by example.<\/p>\n<p>For White, rugby is about power, precision, and surviving the physical grind in the trenches. Augspurger\u2019s game is built on explosiveness, agility, and relentless endurance.

Over the last few years, the sport has gained momentum in the United States\u2014particularly at the youth, high school, college, and club levels\u2014as the U.S. prepares to host the 2031 and 2033 Rugby World Cups.<\/p>\n<p>For athletes like White and Augspurger, the sport\u2019s growth in the U.S. has been something they\u2019ve witnessed firsthand. White brings an international perspective, having grown up in a rugby-first culture, while Augspurger\u2014a product of American rugby\u2019s early days\u2014has seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.majorleague.rugby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Major League Rugby (MLR)<\/a> evolve from an unproven startup to a structured, professional league. Together, their experiences paint a picture of rugby\u2019s past, present, and future in the U.S., showing both the progress made and the work still to be done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRugby in the U.S. has evolved a lot, but there\u2019s still work to do,\u201d says White. \u201cWhen Americans see it for the first time, they think it\u2019s amazing\u2014no helmets, nonstop action\u2014but they don\u2019t always understand the game. The biggest challenge is bridging that gap, getting rugby into schools and homes earlier. The passion is there, especially at the club level, and the exposure is growing. It won\u2019t be the next football or basketball, but I see it reaching a level where it competes with Major League Soccer or lacrosse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Augspurger, who has played for San Diego, New Orleans, and now Chicago, MLR\u2019s evolution has been just as much about building infrastructure as it has been about expanding its presence. The league\u2019s early years were filled with logistical challenges\u2014from inconsistent training facilities to long commutes for practice. But today, teams like the Chicago Hounds are setting a new standard, allowing players to push their limits and elevate the level of play across the league.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe professionalism in MLR has come a long way,\u201d Augspurger said. \u201cWhen I first started, we didn\u2019t have dedicated training facilities, and sometimes we had to drive 40 minutes just to get to practice. Now, with Chicago, we have a home base, top-tier equipment, and a structured program that allows us to train at an elite level. The sport is growing, and players are taking it more seriously than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:55.36519386835%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chicago-Hounds-players-taking-a-knee-to-pray-after-a-rugby-game.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" alt=\"Chicago Hounds players taking a knee to pray after a rugby game\" width=\"1109\" height=\"614\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chicago-Hounds-players-taking-a-knee-to-pray-after-a-rugby-game.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Chicago Hounds\/Roku<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Building the Hounds\u2019 Identity<\/h2>\n<p>Success in rugby isn\u2019t just about talent\u2014it\u2019s about team culture, the environment players create on and off the field that fuels performance. For the Chicago Hounds, building a winning culture means blending different backgrounds, playing styles, and experiences into a cohesive, hard-nosed unit. Veterans like White and Augspurger bring leadership and perspective from their years in the game, helping set a standard for what it means to be a Hound.<\/p>\n<p>White, who has played for teams in Glendale, Los Angeles, and now Chicago, understands what it takes to find your place in a new rugby city. Having spent nearly a decade in the U.S., he has seen firsthand how the game is growing, particularly in Chicago, where the professional and grassroots rugby scenes are expanding every year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverywhere I\u2019ve played, I\u2019ve felt at home, which is rare when you\u2019re thousands of miles away from where you grew up,\u201d he said. \u201cChicago is no different. The rugby culture here is strong\u2014there\u2019s a big amateur scene, and the support is growing every year. You start seeing more people in Hounds gear, recognizing us, talking about the team. That\u2019s how you build something special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Augspurger, team culture isn\u2019t just about camaraderie\u2014it\u2019s about setting a standard. He believes that the best teams don\u2019t just show up\u2014they go the extra mile. That means putting in extra work, demanding the best from each other, and never backing down from the grind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe secret sauce with the Hounds is that we embrace doing hard things,\u201d Augspurger said. \u201cNo one shies away from the work. When you have a team that shows up early, gets their rehab in, and hunts for that extra edge, that\u2019s when you see guys performing at their best. It\u2019s about setting a standard and living up to it every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By fostering a culture of toughness, work ethic, and accountability, White and Augspurger are helping shape the identity of the Chicago Hounds, ensuring that the team is built on more than just skill, but one built on character and commitment.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:55.36519386835%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chicago-Hounds-player-running-top-notch-with-the-rugby-ball.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" alt=\"Chicago Hounds player running top notch with the rugby ball\" width=\"1109\" height=\"614\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chicago-Hounds-player-running-top-notch-with-the-rugby-ball.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Chicago Hounds\/Roku<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Strength and Speed Define Rugby\u2019s Toughest Athletes<\/h2>\n<p>Training for rugby isn\u2019t one-size-fits-all. The demands of the sport vary depending on a player\u2019s position, meaning forwards and backs train very differently to optimize their performance. For White, a powerful forward who battles in the trenches, the focus is on durability, raw strength, and repeated high-impact collisions. For Augspurger, an elusive back who thrives in open space, it\u2019s about explosiveness, reaction time, and top-end speed.<\/p>\n<p>White, a veteran of MLR title-winning teams, knows that forwards take the brunt of the physicality in rugby. Whether it\u2019s locking up in scrums, making dominant tackles, or powering through defenders, his training is built around maintaining strength and endurance over the course of a grueling season. In the offseason, heavy lifting plays a major role, but once the season begins, he focuses on keeping his body mobile and resilient to withstand the physical toll of each game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a forward, it\u2019s all about strength and endurance. You\u2019re taking constant impact, so your body has to be durable,\u201d he said. \u201cIn the offseason, we lift heavy to build that armor\u2014deadlifts, squats, Olympic lifts\u2014but during the season, it\u2019s about maintenance. I do a lot of circuit training now, keeping my body mobile and ready for contact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speed kills for Augspurger. As a back, his game is built around quick bursts, lateral movement, and acceleration. Unlike forwards, who need to win physical battles in tight spaces, backs rely on split-second reactions, footwork, and dynamic movement to beat defenders. His training mimics NFL-style agility work, ensuring he stays light on his feet and explosive in motion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeed and agility are my bread and butter. I train a lot like an NFL player\u2014cone drills, short bursts, high-intensity footwork,\u201d he said. \u201cThe game is so fast that your movement has to be instinctual. One of my go-to drills is one-on-one tracking, where you work on reading defenders and reacting in real time. It sharpens my ability to win those battles in open space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though their training styles differ, both White and Augspurger know that conditioning is the foundation of success. Whether it\u2019s surviving scrum battles or breaking the defensive line, their relentless focus on preparation and physical resilience is what keeps them performing at the highest level.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:55.36519386835%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Nate-Augspurger-writing-notes-as-he-warms-up-and-stretches-for-a-game.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" alt=\"Nate Augspurger writing notes as he warms up and stretches for a game\" width=\"1109\" height=\"614\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Nate-Augspurger-writing-notes-as-he-warms-up-and-stretches-for-a-game.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Chicago Hounds\/Roku<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Words of Wisdom<\/h2>\n<p>Rugby doesn\u2019t just build strength, speed, and endurance\u2014it builds character. Throughout their careers, White and Augspurger have had to evolve, push past doubts, recover from injuries, and continuously refine their craft. Now, as veterans, they know what separates those who make it from those who don\u2019t: confidence, commitment, and an obsession with getting better every single day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was younger, people probably looked at me and thought, \u2018He\u2019s too small to make it,\u2019 said Augspurger. \u201cBut I knew if I put in the work, I could push past those limits. If you believe in yourself and put in the effort every day, there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t make it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For White, success comes from owning your identity as a player and trusting the skills that got you to the top. Their journeys prove that rugby rewards those who are willing to outwork the competition, stay true to their strengths, and continuously adapt. \u201cBe yourself,\u201d said White. \u201cPlay to your strengths and work on your weaknesses, but don\u2019t try to be something you\u2019re not.
