I AM Fitness and Mindset Coaching

I had 6 of my starting line up unavailable for selection last week due to injury and suspension.
Getting the boys to believe and buy in to our game plan was key last week. Defence and the Mindset to understand the importance of winning the small moments throughout the game.
Adversity and resilience in this group this year was nothing like any other team I've coached.
Really proud of my boys❤️

The best club isn’t always the one winning the most games.

Choose the environment that develops your child, values them, challenges them and makes them want to keep coming back💯

Culture over trophies. Development over results🩵 Find the right fit🫡

🏉 REHAB SUNDAY | 5-MINUTE FOAM ROLLING ROUTINE

We’re coming to the end of the rugby league season — semi-finals, preliminary finals and Grand Finals 🏆

If you played yesterday, this simple 5-minute foam rolling routine is a great way to spend a little time looking after your body and getting ready for the week ahead.

And if your season has already finished, or you’re not playing finals at all, this routine is still for you! 👊

Foam rolling can be a useful tool to help you feel less stiff, improve movement and unwind after training or games.

Just remember — more pressure isn’t always better. Keep it controlled and comfortable, and don’t use rolling to push through an actual injury or significant pain.

5 minutes. A little recovery. A better week ahead🧘🏻‍♀️

Through a coach’s lens 🎥🏉

Defence starts at the ruck. Win the tackle, control the speed, get your markers right and make sure your A, B & C defenders know their roles.

Get the ruck right and everything outside it becomes easier💯🫡

When your child says “I want to quit”, don’t rush to fix it.

Listen first. Understand the why. Sometimes they don’t want to quit — they just need support through a tough moment💙✨️

Don’t dim your light to fit in🩵

Be confident in who you are, trust the player you’re becoming, and own what makes you different.

Your identity is your strength. Let it shine✨️🫡

🏉 RECOVERY SUNDAY

What your athlete does on Sunday can make a big difference to how they feel going into their next session.

After a Saturday game, recovery should focus on:
🚶‍♂️ Easy movement
🧘 Mobility
🤸 Gentle stretching if they're feeling tight
🍗 Protein + carbohydrates to refuel and repair
💧 Hydration
😴 Quality sleep

Recovery isn't about doing nothing — it's about giving your body what it needs to recover, reset and be ready for what's next.

Friday Coach’s Tip⬇️

Want to stand out on game day? It’s not always about tries, tackles or highlights.

Your body language, communication, attitude, effort and how you respond when things go wrong, all get noticed.

Control the things you can control. Coaches are always watching💯🩵
