Rugby icon Ilona Maher expressed her views on individuals who spend time thinking excessively.
The Olympic bronze medalist concluded a successful stint with the Bristol Bears of the Premiership Women's Rugby League in England. Across seven matches, she scored four tries as they reached the PWR semifinal, losing to Gloucester-Hartpury.
On Instagram, Ilona Maher shared her hilarious and relatable take on the overthinking mentality:
“Overthinkers be like. That sounds super simple. Okay let me overthink for the next few days, and then I'll come back with to you with probably no answers and no concrete idea of what I've come up with. And if that doesn't work, I can overthink for the next week, month if you need it.”

“I don't know what the tabloids will say tomorrow. But this is my decision. It was hard to make because I was, like, kind of up there with the best in the world, I would say at this point. But this is for me, and I thank you all for supporting that.”
