Something I shared with the group last night…works both in sport and life so curious to hear what comes up for you…

Evening ladies,

Hope all well? Who saw the lionesses on Sunday? Curious to know what you took away from the game?

A little thought experiment for you….

Who’s your favourite person other than you? They can be sport or otherwise.

Next bit…what are the characteristics you like about them? Write them down if it helps. Keep it to one side.

You see…

There’s this thing called perception is projection.

That means what when you think about someone in this case in a positive light you are reflecting their characteristics on you. Be aware it works negatively as well and there’s opportunity for you to work those out.

So what does that mean?

That person you said was your favourite/ or “role model” you are already like them. You have the exact attributes they have in you.

The opportunity now and this season is how you bring those skills out as a person which in turn transfers to you as a female athlete.

You don’t have to share it here but if you want to unpick further drop me a note.

Be well and maybe this gives you something to think about whilst you’re cranking the Bring Sally Up reps.

Nick. 👊🏻👊🏻

Here’s a new post as well…

4 things to help with your 1st session…

Pre season is already/nearly here and the car will have that unique smell of brand new balls, freshly washed (maybe ironed) bibs and the obligatory post dishwashed cones! You may even have cleaned your boots?

It may also be the 1st time you’ve ever set foot on grass to coach this oddly shaped ball game?

Regardless here’s 4 things to have a think on…

1. You are the game - Always remember (particularly in November when you question your decision to coach) you’re doing valuable work. Be you taking the u7s for their first ever experience or your 20th attempt at getting the 1st XV ready for a league campaign, YOU MATTER! YOUR’RE CONTRIBUTION SHOULD NOT BE UNDERVALUED.
2. It’s bigger than the ball - the coaching you do on day 1 and over the season is bigger than the game…through sport you are producing people to go into the world and use their experiences on the grass to shape their futures and benefit society.
3. It’s supposed to be fun for you - you’re supposed to enjoy yourself not just the athletes. What is your definition of fun/enjoyment for you? If you’re already in fear of the coming season then what can be changed?
4. Reflect - ask yourself after your session…what was the best part of that session for me? What did I notice about the players at that moment? How can I replicate that experience for me and them?

Thanks for reading. If you’re stuck on any of the above and want some clarity please get in touch…

Be well and enjoy yourself.

Nick.

Enjoyed being back on the grass supporting the tackle height clinic Lichfield Rugby Club 27 coaches getting drenched and a positive discussion about the coming season with some coaches even agreeing with referees!
