🎥 📔 I had the immense privilege of sharing a few thoughts at the legendary broadcaster Martin Locke's book launch: Unlocked.
Martin has shaped my life in extraordinary ways.
The ‘small things’ matter. Guess which side the @springboks were warming up.
Wow the Principality Stadium is incredible.

New paper: "Pain, impairment, medication use and health-related quality of life of retired professional rugby players" @johanleroux13 @ChristaJVR @steve_dh1 @KerkhoffsG @SportsMedUP @AmsterdamCHSS

Super excited to have the second paper of our study on health support for retired professional rugby players published in @SAJsportmed
Key findings:
🧠 The retired professional rugby players reported significantly lower global mental health levels compared to the matched controls.
🔴 The retired rugby players also reported significantly higher levels of joint impairment for activities of daily living.
🚫 💊 Most of the retired rugby players reported they do not use pain medication.
🏉 Professional rugby careers have a considerable impact on the joint health and overall well-being of retired players, resulting in unique challenges.
🔵 The findings emphasise the need for specific after-career support for challenges faced by retired rugby players.
Thank you to my supervisors and co-authors for all your work, guidance and support! On to the next one :)

📓 Brilliant to see the Power of Journaling at the Olympics 📓
A couple of months ago, I started handing every young athlete I work with a journal. Why? Because the athletes who made the quickest and most significant progress made journaling part of their sport journey.
Journaling helps athletes:
🤔 Reflect on their progress
🆔 Identify patterns in performance
😧 Process setbacks and challenges
🥅 Set clear, actionable goals
➕ And a lot more!
Nicola Olyslagers won silver in the women's high jump last night and after every jump, sat down with her journal.
Let's encourage our young athletes to make it a part of their routine!

I love the honest reflection. Intrinsic (love of running) and extrinsic (Porsche 🚘 ) motivation are both crucial. Future Elite: Empowering Young athletes talks about exactly this. Please send me a DM if you would like me to send you the activity book for the first module for your athletes
Is there a more exciting British athlete currently?
Today we welcome Olympian Keely Hodgkinson for an open, emotional, revealing conversation.
We talk setting goals, remaining consistent, dealing with setbacks, and building self belief.

🚨🚨🎙️| Lionel Messi opened up on his mental health during his time at Barcelona:
“I did [go to a psychologist] for a while to be honest, when I was in Barcelona, a long time ago.
“I had never tried that before. I was very reluctant to. I didn't like it. I'm a person who bottles up everything and swallows it, the good and the bad.
“And the truth is, when I went, it did me very well. I really liked it and helped me a lot.”
If I remember correctly, a few minutes before this photo you were doing commentary in your boxers @MphoMbiyozo ! Happy birthday for yesterday 🍻🍻Hope you celebrated well

Incredible clip of Novak Djokovic on the mental aspect of his tennis game (reading other player, dealing with self-doubt and breathing to calm his mind).
