2025 RL SEASON SCRAPBOOK 🏉
Tomorrow marks the end of my second season in rugby league - which means it’s time for the classic end of season reflections that flood everyone’s social media. So here’s mine…
This year was a full of firsts:
- Men’s Scholarship Lead Therapist
- Men’s 1st Team Soft Tissue Therapist
- Women’s Academy Lead Therapist
- IMMOFP Qualified
From juggling what felt like half a squad of injuries, to watching my first ever ACL case return to the field, this season has definitely kept me on my toes. Working across age groups brought its own mix of challenges and charm - teenage boys testing both my patience and taping skills, and the women’s squad adding the drive and laughter.
Some days you’re flying - everything clicks, players are smashing their rehab goals, and you can’t quite believe this is your job. Other days…you’re on the M62 for the 3rd time that day, your coffee has gone cold, and you’re wondering if the smell of deep heat will ever leave your car.
But I wouldn’t change a thing.
This season I went from watching rehabilitation programs to writing them. From observing treatments to leading them (and teaching a few along the way). From watching matches live on TV to standing pitchside, celebrating the biggest of moments.
49 games. A gold Starbucks membership. Countless Village hotels. Infinite learning curves.
Time for a couple of week rest - before doing it ALL over again! ❤️🤍
