18.01.2022 athletesarehumans RT: Akira Ioane says he’s in a good space after private struggles with mental health around trying to cope with his World Cup omission and co...nstant criticism of his form. 2018 and 2019 were big for me mentally. I wasn’t enjoying playing rugby at all. I was trying to impress too many outside influences and I just go so caught up in trying to please people that I forgot what I was good at and why I played the game. I thought mental health was all bulls**t and that people blew it up and out of proportion, so it was a real reality check for me and that it can happen to anyone and everyone goes through it all at different times... It hits you pretty hard when you don’t know how to deal with certain outcomes that don’t go your way. It’s a real eye-opener, so that’s what I’ve been working on It (mental issues) all built up over time and I thought I could back to Mitre 10 Cup and be sweet, be the same old Akira that loves to run the ball, but I got a rude awakening when I jumped on the scales. I was like, I have really f***ed up here and I didn’t play most of the season, was getting pulled off at halftime. My coach would ask me if I wanted to play this week and I would say no, because I didn’t believe in myself. I was trying to find my love for the game again. I used to think I had all that outside noise on lock and that I didn’t listen to the media or outside influences online. I have learnt to not care, what anyone has to say or thinks about me. They are sitting at home behind a keyboard and don’t know what they are talking about - I’m shutting it all out I had really open conversations with my family and they told me what they thought. I was cut by what they said, but it was honest and real. I knew I was in a bad spot. But I needed to knuckle down and I slowly started to find my way back and I’ve found my love for the game again. I came into the Super Rugby season happy and I’m now in a good place. I’m enjoying myself, enjoying being back in the team environment and working hard for the boys. See more
