Pilot: "Mental training is key for success!"
In this episode, Antonio and Carlos dive into two pivotal research papers that address key psychological and physiological aspects of professional rugby. The first paper explores the relationship between self-confidence, mental toughness, and psychobiosocial experiences in elite rugby players, shedding light on how these traits impact performance and resilience at the highest level of competition. The second paper presents findings from a cohort study on eye-tracking tools used to distinguish between concussed and non-concussed players, highlighting the potential of innovative technologies in improving concussion assessment and player safety. Through insightful analysis and engaging discussion, Antonio and Carlos bridge the gap between academic research and practical applications in rugby, offering valuable takeaways for athletes, coaches, and medical professionals alike.
