Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding Rugby Playing girls, who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of playing Rugby?
Celia Quansah:
Things won’t always happen the way you want them to, but always keep perspective, you can always find positives in a bad situation, so find them and focus on them. It really is all about the journey, you don’t want to look back and wish you’d allowed yourself to enjoy a little more. And remember, the negative moments in your life will shape you into a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. Keep going and don’t forget to smile.
Namita Nayyar:
In sports like Rugby how were you able to overcome any physical or sports injury setbacks and what advice can you give to those in a similar situation?
Celia Quansah:
Injuries can be really tough and take a lot of mental resilience. I think it’s important to have a good support network around you, whether that be physios, friends or a psychologist that you can lean on when things get tough. Goal setting was a great tool for me during my time injured, I really struggled with motivation especially with my second knee injury so having small, realistic but challenging goals helped to keep my motivation up.
I’d also say it’s really important that you have other things going on aside from rehab. I wasn’t very good at this and my day-to-day life completely revolved around rehab which eventually made me resent it. Make sure you set aside time to see friends, or do things you love that aren’t anything to do with your injury or your sport. Finally, just remember that it does get better, when you’re in the thick of it, it’s hard to see an end, but keep celebrating the small wins which will help you to see your progression, big or small.

Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about a day in the life of ‘Celia Quansah’.
Celia Quansah:
I’m very fortunate to be a full time rugby player and I also work for a consultancy company (B5 Consultancy). A typical day in the life would consist of, morning coffee and breakfast, some work on my laptop before I make lunch and prepare dinner for post training.
I head to training at Leicester Tigers, arriving around 2pm, usually do some more work and then head to the gym, followed by a skills session and then rugby. I usually get home late, so it’s helpful having my dinner made ready to eat post training. I’m really lucky to have a great work/life balance which allows me to spend time with friends and family as well as fit in work and training.
