Self-care and taking time to relax are very important to Ireland and Leinster rugby player Linda Djougang. So much so that her teammates have been known to jokingly compare her to Chamomile tea.

But her ability to take time to herself and unwind has worked in the 26-year-old's favour. Being relaxed has helped Linda's career, allowing her to get in the right mindset before big games.
