Hi, Im Ben Roberts.

I’m a former NRL and International Rugby League player and the founder of Benefit Performance.

I help rugby league players of all ages and levels develop the skills, game smarts and confidence they need to reach their full potential.

For me, rugby league has unlocked opportunities beyond what I’d ever imagined.

This game took me from being an undersized kid in the Narellan Jets… all the way to Sydney Olympic stadium packed with thousands of roaring fans.

But when I look back on my career, the biggest thing that I’m proud of is knowing I reached my potential.

And the most important thing I can tell you is that if you want to reach your full potential as a player…

You Need to Put Yourself in the Right Environment.

I believe that every great player has a “fork in the road” moment. One moment that changes their future.

My moment came when I had just turned 17. I was playing Juniors for Wests Magpies. We’d just won the 2002 SG Ball Grand Final, and I was keen to go celebrate with the boys.

Out of nowhere, the Jersey Flegg coach came over to me. He said they had a few players missing for their game tomorrow, and could I make myself available.

My dad looked at me. I said…

“Nah thanks. I’m going to stay and celebrate our win.”

So I turned to walk dad to the car. But when we reached the car, my dad stopped and said –

“Hey son, remember how I told you about seeing opportunities? Well, this is one of those opportunities. You gotta grab it.”

I thought, it was a one-off game. Not a big deal. What was the big opportunity?

But I trusted my dad. So I went back to the coach and said…

“I’ll be there.”

Then I walked back to the car. I got in and cried. I wanted to stay with the boys and celebrate.

But I wanted this opportunity more.

And the next morning, I woke up and got ready for the game.

I handled myself pretty well that day. Afterwards, the coach said to me,

“Hey, do you want to keep playing for us?”

So I played with Wests the rest of the year, on and off the bench, making the most of it.

Now, Tim Sheens had just taken over as the Wests Tigers coach. One day, he saw me play one of those Flegg games.

I got a phone call a few days later from my manager saying I've been called in for the part-time squad in first grade.

And then offered a part-time/full-time contract with the Wests Tigers later that year.

All of a sudden, I was a Year 11 kid, catching the train to Lidcombe after school to train with my heroes.

Within twelve months my life had changed forever.

All from that one game.

That one opportunity.

This is Your Opportunity to Learn from the Greats

Now that I’m retired, my new purpose is to give other kids the opportunity to learn firsthand from great players.

It’s my turn to reach back and bring forward the next generation. Because as a youngster, I had nothing like this.

In fact, it wasn’t until I played for the Melbourne Storm that I really started to understand the game.

Cooper Cronk took me under his wing and taught me everything he knew. He made me see the game in a different light.

The culture at the Storm – the support, the teamwork, the professionalism – were also life-changing for me. I learnt more in that one year with the Storm than I did in the eight years before that!

So now, my goal in life is to create the best environment for as many kids as possible.

I want to create an environment where you learn how to play the game… boost your confidence… look after yourself…

And help everyone around you get better.

That’s why I’ve brought together a team of ex-NRL legends to share with you everything we’ve learned about what it takes to become a great player (and a great person).

Secure Your Spot Now!

Spots are limited because I want to give you the best experience I possibly can. This is the first clinic this year so don’t miss out.

The last thing I want to tell you is that rugby league success doesn’t come from talent.

The real secret to success is about having belief in yourself.

My dad believed in me before I did. And he cared about me enough to encourage me to go for that Jersey Flegg opportunity.

The biggest thing I got out of that Flegg game was BELIEF. After that I really believed that I had the goods to make it. That single game skyrocketed my career.

Now, I’m not saying that if you join my clinic, you’ll be an overnight superstar.

But I am saying that if you want to be great, you need to grab opportunities when they appear.

And my clinic isn’t just about nurturing superstars. I’m dedicated to helping all kids get fitter, stronger, and smarter.

Most importantly, it’s about having fun while you learn about yourself, your teammates and this great game.

So wherever you are on your rugby league journey, I promise this clinic will be an experience you’ll never forget.

I hope you’ll join me.

Faqs

What happens if I can’t make it on the day?

If you give us more than one week’s notice, you’ll get a full refund. If you cancel within one week, we’ll give you a credit to attend another clinic (valid for 12 months). If you cancel with less than 24 hours or don’t show up, you won’t get a refund.

I really want to attend but those dates don’t work. When will the next clinic be?

This is the first clinic for 2025. I plan on running more clinics through the year, but I haven’t set a date yet as it will depend on everyone’s availability. If this opportunity is important to you, I really encourage you to do what you can to make it.

All the spots are taken for the clinic I want to attend. Is there a waitlist?

If your chosen clinic is full, try another location. If the other locations are full, then contact my team to be added to the waitlist and we’ll let you know as soon as possible if a spot opens up.
