It’s nerve-racking turning up to something new, so you’d be forgiven for feeling a little anxious about your first MAN v FAT Rugby session. But we’ve got your back – and here’s why you don’t need to worry.
I’ll stick out like a sore thumb
You might think this, but the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Remember, every guy at your MAN v FAT Rugby club is in the same boat as you: everyone wants to lose weight and get healthier. Besides, you can guarantee that you’ll receive a warm welcome from your coach, and by the end of the session we reckon you’ll be revelling in your team’s camaraderie.
What if no one talks to me?
We’ve all had this worry at some point, and it can be especially worrying if you’re naturally a bit of an introvert. But there’s never been a better place to strike up a conversation – you know you’ve got at least two things in common (rugby, and wanting to lose weight), so you’ve instantly got an in. Be bold and say hi!
What if I’m awful at rugby?
Want to lose weight? Good. Like rugby? Great. That’s literally all that matters. No one’s going to judge you on your fitness level or rugby skill. We’ve got guys on MAN v FAT Football leagues who are surprised they can even kick a ball, and it doesn’t hold them back in the slightest.
The important thing is that you turn up, try your best, and support your teammates.
