Aristotle asserted long ago in his Politics: “Man is by nature a social animal … Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god.”
Since my leave from the forum for the past few days, i want to thank all those who sent me the good wishes and to those of whom made some such comments, i just want to say that sometimes with the high speed of things on the forum, some stories will always be misunderstood and sometimes taken out of context and to those people commenting who said "take care of yourself" and also said "this is the pressures of social media" let me say to you are absolutely correct, and this is the reason for my early return from what was supposed to be a long break.
We can not control how we feel but we can control how we react to our feelings, and so by taking a little break from this forum i was able to control and get my feelings back in to order.
We shoudn't just say that Social media could be, but should say, it will always be a precarious place to be in, especially for the younger people who are immature to know how to control their bad feelings, and this includes NRL players some of whom have had their careers and reputations severely damaged because of it.
So i'd like to also add this that i think is important for consideration and awareness about social behaviour.
How people react and feel for example when in a debate/discussion on a forum, differs from person to person, and sometimes among various factors , the one thing that has an effect on a persons social behaviour would be, is the role of the chemical dopamine that is made in our brains, Dopamine, Is a contributing factor in mood, and even our decision making.
and this i think is something we should all be aware of especially if the person is considered as an "introvert"
introverts are less impulsive than extroverts, Extroverts also have more dopamine activation when they connect with other humans, introverts don't require as much social interaction in order to feel good as extroverts do, That can be a good thing, but it can also make introverts more prone, they can become overstimulated, which leads to exhaustion, and to recover, they need to spend time by themselves, this is the reason why they usually don’t want to spend hours socializing with large groups of people.
So i thought sharing this little knowledge and awareness about some facts of social behaviour could be beneficial for all of us to know a little about people and what can effect their behaviour, which can be learnt from the science of human personality and psychology.
Besides this i then asked myself this question, does any NRL club employ a sports psycologist?
The first one i looked at, was the Melb. Storm, they do not have one listed on ther website under their list of staff.
Then i looked at the Syd. Roosters, and they sure have one, here's what Mr Robinson says about his teams Psychologist .
Psychology and Lifestyle
"Grant Brecht is a clinical psychologist and full-time consultant. Coach Robinson believes you need to get their life right before you can get their footy right. Mr Brecht makes sure that any issues within their private lives are okay as well as supporting them with sports psychology."
Guy's, the reason why we see things from our players during the games, things like mental weakness, childish errors, stupid dumb penalties, the inability to anticipate, etc, etc,
Is because amongst all the other things, the WT also needs a sports psychologists.
And correct me if i'm wrong but the nutritionist that the WT employ would be similar to me telling my kids eat this, and don't eat that, but you know that they won't listen.
All professional players should have learnt by now what to eat and not eat (did someone say kfc?) their young hungry brains needs to also be fed properly by a sports psychologists (a coach is not a psychologists) who will help them to begin to look like an intelligent,composed team and stop them from looking like a team with an un-taught, immature mind.
We have the CoE (almost)
We have the Coach
We have the players
We need players to start to act like men
We, the WT need a Sports Psychologists.
