"Growing up I was diagnosed with ADHD ," said Clough.
Growing up in a rugby-loving family in Sydney, Clough hadn't given up on a sport its followers like to describe as"the game they play in heaven". But two years ago, a lack of confidence from a coach and battles with injuries led her to walk away from the sport."Those things can really have a huge impact on your mental state. [I] had to do a lot of work on that. I took a few months off, I didn't take much off because I realised very quickly that I love rugby, it makes me happy, it's fun."I had to do a little bit of counselling and mental coaching. I had to learn to work with difficult people.
"Over the last 10 or so years I've used most of my annual leave for rugby reasons. I don't get much of a holiday really, which is something that my boss always tells me that I need to be careful with because it's that work-life rugby-life balance but I wouldn't change it for the world.
