[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 981049, member: 73648"] you’re being super harsh on yourself. Which is both a positive and a negative. I used to get super bummed if I felt I didn’t ref a perfect game. It pushed me to work on things and watch more rugby but it made me super unhappy and me not want to go on the field.* focus on two or three things you felt you did well. Even if you have to hunt for two or three things be super proud. Maybe it’s a clean out or a line out lift. I don’t know much about forward play (especially front row) so I wouldn’t know all places to look. you mentioned you were the youngest on your team and I believe this is your first year of uni. I thought the scrums were okay with you in there. You were up against a big boi who probably had a couple years of rugby and more than a couple of years experience in the front row. You will get a long stronger between 18-22. keep your head up, remember it’s a game. And make sure you enjoy what you are doing. You’ve worked your ass off to be in this situation and being a student/ high level amateur athlete is something to be enjoyed. * ended up going to play for my school (I’m in law school so I’m playing against guys a couple years younger than me and it was a pretty social atmosphere) to get a rest from serious rugby. Ended up hurting myself and realized quickly I preferred reffing good rugby to playing bad rugby. anyway, just keep your head up [/QUOTE]
