Camogie has a great contribution to make to the health and mental well being of women. Approaches to developing and maintaining our physical and mental fitness and very similar. It is necessary to exercise our minds and bodies regularly, watch our diet and hydration levels, get plenty of sleep and enjoy appropriate down time.
Even if players do all this an injury can happen through no fault of the player involved. If you pull a hamstring you get a physiotherapist to assist in the recovery. Getting help to overcome a ‘mental injury’ is no different. The earlier you do this, the earlier you get back to doing what you love- playing camogie!
