Could you tell me a time you felt ecstasy?

An important emotion to me is ecstasy. Playing rugby with your mates is a fantastic feeling, when you win, it’s even better!

I can’t describe just how good it feels when you have battled with a tough opposition for 80 minutes and when that final whistle goes and you have won a game, it’s like a rush comes over me, maybe partly relief, but knowing the fact that all of that effort has culminated in a win is an ecstatic feeling.

I also feel ecstasy in flow. When I have completely lost myself in the moment and am fully engaged with the job at hand. I can feel flow as I’m carrying the ball in my hands, nothing in that moment is more important and I’m completely synced in with my motion. It’s in those moments I feel complete ecstasy.

That’s what keeps us coming back despite all the blood, sweat and tears shed playing rugby. It’s those moments.
