MEN’S HEALTH WEEK 🏉

Rugby is about showing up - but so is looking after yourself

For a lot of blokes, health only becomes something you think about when something hurts, performance drops, or someone tells you to get it checked. But the stuff that keeps you on the field and feeling good long term is usually the boring stuff done consistently.

A few stats worth thinking about:
• 3 in 4 Australian men are either overweight or living with obesity, increasing their risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
• Only around 1 in 4 men meet both physical activity and strength guidelines
• Men are more than 3x as likely to die by su***de than women (AIHW)
• Concussion is believed to be significantly underreported in sport - potentially by up to 82% in some sports
• In Australia, someone has a stroke every 11 minutes and up to 80% are preventable (Stroke Foundation)

For those involved in sport - health isn’t just fitness.
It’s:
✔️ Training hard and recovering properly
✔️ Taking head knocks and concussions seriously
✔️ Getting on top of injuries instead of pushing through
✔️ Sleeping enough and fueling properly with whole foods
✔️ Looking after your mental health the same way you’d look after a hammy or shoulder
✔️ Booking the check-up instead of saying “she’ll be right”

Rugby gives us competition, mateship and purpose but none of it matters if your health isn’t there to back it up.

Ask your mate if they’re playing Saturday… but also ask how the body’s tracking and how they’re actually going.

Look after yourselves. Look after your mates 💙🏉

A special visit to one of Neddies’ longest-standing Major Diamond Sponsors, Makene Truck Training, to say thank you for their incredible support of our club over many years.

It was our privilege to present Ray, Dot and Barney Makene with a mounted club jersey as a small token of appreciation for their enduring loyalty, generosity and commitment to helping our club grow and thrive.

Strong community partnerships like this are the foundation of our success, and we are truly grateful for everything the Makene family has done for Neddies over the years.

Thank you, Ray, Dot and Barney - your support means the world to us 💙🏉
