Mental rehearsal improves passing skill and stress resilience in rugby players
Beaven, C. M., Kilduff, L. P., Cook, C. J.Published in International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance (2023)“…We propose that the interaction between sex steroids, the adrenal axis, and subsequent conscious and unconscious behaviors may be relevant to competitive rugby. Specifically, we suggest that relatively elevated free testosterone imparts a degree of stress resilience, which may lead to enhanced expression of competitive behaviors and provide an enhanced state for rugby skill execution.…”

Team behavior and performance: An exploration in the context of professional rugby union
Serpell, B. G., Colomer, C. M., Pickering, M. R., Cook, C. J.Published in International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance (2023)“…In the first, we used global positioning system technology to measure player clustering during stoppages in play in nearly 100 games of professional rugby union to explore team (complex system) behavior and performance. In the second, we measured stress hormones (cortisol and testosterone) prior to team meetings and analyzed these relative to amount of time and the frequency with which players looked at peer presenters, as well as subsequent training performance, to explain how stress may lead to behaviors observed in the first study and subsequent match performance. …”
