About this listen
Rugby isn’t lost because players lack fitness, strength, or desire.
It’s lost when the nervous system degrades under collision, fatigue, and chaos.
In this episode, we break down how elite rugby performance is governed by neural control, not mindset or motivation — and why decision-making, timing, and skill execution collapse late in games despite good preparation.
We cover:
what repeated collision actually does to the nervous system
why “mental toughness” fails at pro level
the real cause of late-game errors
how elite players stay neurologically organised under pressure
This is not sports psychology.
It’s neural performance under contact — for players, coaches, and performance staff working at the highest level.
