We wanna notice first of all what we're experiencing because when we're playing. We get so many mixed emotions coming up, there's lots of different feelings and there's lots of different things going on in the pitch, lots of external factors, so notice how you're feeling. The more you can get better at actually noticing your emotions, the easier it is to manage them. Name those emotions as well. So, you know, I listed different words up there. Whatever feels right for you, you know, whatever comes up in your mind, name it. If it's frustration, I'm feeling frustrated. Obviously you can do that in your head. It's not something you need to say out loud, but name that emotion. So earlier on I said, you know, emotions are there for a reason. It's, it's OK to feel those things because it shows we care. It shows we're passionate. So just welcome that emotion in. We don't need to try and push it away because that's normally what makes the situation worse. We're, we're trying to have this battle in our heads, trying to push that emotion away. It's not helping us. So just welcome it. Let it be there. Here it is. Here is frustration. Again, you can do that in your head. And that helps you to take control of the emotion because you're. You're delaying the, the, the reaction. So we normally have such an instant reaction to our emotions that we, we can't control it. So once you delay that instant reaction and you welcome that emotion in, you have more control, which means you can decide what action to take next. And that is the final step. So take ownership of your next action. Think about what needs to be done in this situation. Now, how can I continue to play well and be clear on the processes that will help you play well? In that moment. So these might be things that you might be thinking about before the game, you know, whether it's a going in for a crushing tackle or carrying the ball a few metres. So just be really clear on those processes before you go into the game. And then when you follow those steps, your your brain will be able to kind of recall what it is you need to do when you're feeling that emotion.

This is #class. Sam Whitelock was a lock for the #AllBlacks in the 2023 Rugby World Cup final, where the All Blacks lost to the Springboks by a single point: 12 - 11. He acknowledged the pain of losing but also took time to acknowledge the winning Springboks: "It does take time to process. It's something that will stick with our team - the one that got away. It doesn't take anything away from South Africa. They played exceptional rugby... they were playing winning rugby, and they got the job done. It's history now, we can't change it, it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, but it is what it is." More importantly, he shared his encouraging views on the Sam Cane red card, which dropped the All Blacks to 14 men at the 29th minute mark: "Sam [Cane] didn't play the way he wanted to. You get around him. It's the human part of it. You take away the rugby, and you just worry about your mates. Some people need space, some people need support being close, some people you don't say anything. So it's working out what that person needs and do it. The team were awesome. Everyone stuck together. There was no blaming of people or anything like that. That is probably one of the proudest things about that time - we all stayed together; we didn't split and become divided." ----- This is what a team should look like. There will be wins and losses. But you stick together. You rally around someone when he hurts. You don't blame. You encourage and support. You be gracious to the winner. This is my work and life philosophy too. #Litigation is a team sport. #Life is a team sport. We must have #class. #rugbyforever #sundaymusings
