Nailing the Basics But Going Nowhere? Listen to this before you quit
In this quick episode, I'm talking about what to do when you're nailing the basics, getting your strength and rugby training in, working on your mindset, but you still feel like you're getting nowhere.
Whether you're perimenopausal like me, struggle with confidence, or find that work and life always seem to get in the way, it can feel like you're doing enough without seeing any progress. So I'm sharing four questions to ask yourself to help steer you in the right direction:
Have you tried it for long enough?
Have you actually been doing what you said you'd do, or are you kidding yourself?
Are you focusing your efforts in the right place?
Are you giving yourself the best possible chance of success, with the right environment and the right people around you?
I also share my own history of chasing quick fixes, the sofa habit that was quietly sabotaging my business, and why I believe every woman has the ability to be the best rugby player she can possibly be.
This is the last call for the October Peerless Pack. Doors won't open again until early November, and that will be the last intake before Christmas. If this episode has got you thinking, drop me a message and let's see if we're a good fit.

I Became a Fat Loss Coach Because It Felt Safe
I took the money and ran. Fifteen years in commercial banking, a redundancy payout, and the push I needed to finally do something with the two qualifications I'd been sitting on. This week I'm telling the story I've been keeping in the bank for a few weeks: why I built my business around fat loss coaching because it felt safe, not because it was me, the real reason I wore a scrum cap for years that had nothing to do with injury, and what hitting my 2000th Instagram post taught me about the difference between the person who started this and the one posting now.
If any of this sounds like your own story, the Peerless Pack starts this Sunday, 4th October, contact me via @laurapeerlesscoaching on instagram to get in before doors close.

Stop the World, I Want to Get Off: My Tight 5 Reset for when the shit hits the fan
I took a week off social media and came back to a very strange week in women's sport. I share my take on the Sydney Sweeney ad debate, a HYROX moment that made me weirdly grateful for grassroots rugby mud, and why I think the Red Roses drawing with Canada might be no bad thing.
Then I get honest. The last few weeks have been hard. I've lost a bit of my mojo, I probably won't be playing competitive rugby this season, and my HRT hasn't fully kicked in yet. So I walk you through exactly what I do when life starts lifing: my Tight 5 Method. Five pillars that keep you stable, like the tight five in a scrum, even when you're only moving forward by inches.
In this episode I cover plants and protein (the only nutrition rule you need on a bad week), daily movement that has nothing to do with the gym or rugby training, how I get my fluids in when I can't stand tap water, why I use a 6 to 8 hour sleep range, and my three mindset rules: imperfect action, never miss twice, and unconditional permission with the F*ck Yes test.
The next phase of the Peerless Pack starts on 4th October and runs for six weeks. If you play grassroots rugby, whether you're six months in or fifteen seasons deep, and you want to keep playing the game you love for as long as you can, DM me PACK on Instagram @laurapeerlesscoaching or email nutrition@laurapeerless.co.uk.
