It's the classic "forming, storming, norming, performing" stages of team building. Doing things with other people for a shared goal is a proven route to fulfilment in parts of life.
Hi Benny - another great post. You use the word 'retirement' frequently. Normally this is associated with someone finishing their working life and moving into a 'twilight' of leisure and old age. In your case, you've just finished one phase of your working life, but have plenty of phases left that you are more moving into. It's a small thing, but it might benefit psychologically to start referring to it as 'when I finished my rugby phase' rather than 'retirement'
