Rugby League, Rugby Union and AFL
They're fast and furious and considered the team sports that require the most amounts of physical strength and fitness - but what about their mental requirements? In many ways you cannot separate physical and mental commitment as it's the latter that makes the former happen. If you've just been dropped from your squad it is mental strength that allows you to keep your motivation high to continue training at the same level of intensity that these sports require.
Condor Performance sport psychologists work with rugby league, rugby union and AFL coaches as well as players in an attempt to help them:
- Control nerves and anxiety
- Bounce back from a match or training session
- Learn when it's important to concentrate and focus and when it's essential to switch off
- Design effective physical, technical and mental practice - not just go through the motions
- Balance training with life to prevent burnout
- Stay motivated by picking the right kinds of goals (yes, there are many)
- Learn how to think more accurately and less emotionally
- Decide if you really have what it takes to make a living from playing
