Summary

• Choking in rugby occurs when you perform much worse than you would expect to in relation to your skill level during an important match.

• Choking is something that generally occurs over a short time.

• Psychologists have proposed two theories to explain why we choke, which are referred to as (1) the distraction hypothesis and (2) the explicit monitoring hypothesis.

• Developing a preskill routine can prevent choking by ensuring that you direct your attention toward relevant things.

• Get used to anxiety in training so that you are not shocked when you experience this emotion during matches.

• Monitoring your movements whilst performing specific actions gets you used to performing skills self-consciously, so that if you tend to do this in a match you will not choke under pressure.

• Accept that you are going to make mistakes and be prepared to forgive yourself.
