Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Personal Development Manager Gaylene Osborne says seeing the players progress, start families, build houses, buy cars, and start businesses is what drives her every day.
Osborne works in the personal development space which deals with helping players navigate their professional careers and involves providing education, support and welfare, well-being, factor matters for players.
She says Mental Mondays started as a request from the head coach, Glen Jackson, who asked her to do sessions around specific mental performance tools which players can use to assist them with their on-field performances.
Osborne says a lot of their players who have been through the FRU High Performance Unit and have been involved in a personal development program that they have been running have now become very successful off-field.
She adds their up-and-coming development players also have a hunger and an interest towards savings, running their own businesses and are interested in doing some certificates at the Fiji National University.
