The challenge
Harry, a professional rugby player, had spent the previous season injured and mentally and emotionally challenged. He wanted to:
- Become more resilient and mentally stronger to deal with any setbacks
- Better manage high-pressure and expectations
- To not let any errors on the pitch impact his performance
- To bring the best version of himself to the sports field
Harry also created clear objectives for the pre-season and the whole season, giving him a set of goals to aim for and enhancing his motivation.
Harry's journey
A six-session coaching package with mental skills training helped Harry develop a mental skills framework to boost his performance, well-being, and mental health through injury and on the pitch.
The framework was designed to be versatile, aiding Harry before, during, and after games. These skills bolstered his positive self-talk, nurtured a confident attitude, and curtailed self-doubt.
Here’s what he had to say:
“ It’s definitely improved my confidence and my mental health getting over injuries. I’d definitely recommend using these skills and Jon. ”
