On Sunday, we had the pleasure of welcoming sports psychologist to the Melksham Fawns. Tiggy works closely with the Saracen's Women's Rugby setup, helping athletes of all ages develop the mindset skills needed to thrive both on and off the pitch.
The session focused on building tackle confidence, preparing effectively, and developing a positive approach to mistakes and setbacks. The interactive session explored how their mindset can influence performance and learned practical tools to help them stay resilient, focused, and ready to perform under pressure.
It was an incredibly valuable and engaging session, with the girls fully embracing the discussions and activities throughout. Even more impressive was seeing them put those lessons into practice immediately afterwards during their on-pitch training session. Coaches could already hear players using positive self-talk, encouraging teammates, and showing a greater awareness of how they respond to challenges.
A huge thank you to Tiggy for delivering such an insightful, interactive, and inspiring session. Developing confident, resilient young people is just as important as developing rugby players, and the girls took away some fantastic tools that will benefit them both in sport and in everyday life.
