[QUOTE="notadoctor, post: 1101325, member: 86146"] Hey all, looking for some help here. I'm early 20s and haven't had much contact sport experience (high school cross country/track runner). I recently joined my local rugby club and I love the sport and the community. One issue though, I'm a wimp. I've played a 7s tournament (4 games) and had my first 15s game recently, and in total I've maybe touched the ball in game 4 times and made 3 tackles. I'm not super weak by any means, I've been hitting the weights for a while now and have been really proud of my progress, but I really just don't know how to use my body or get past the fear of having my teeth knocked out. The feedback I get after any game is to not be afraid, and I understand that, I just don't know how to do it. Any advice from any vets to the sport or folks who've had similar issues/helped players with this issue? [/QUOTE]
