I hope he can achieve the resilience and elite fitness the players need?

Sounds good.

Something new for players too.

You can take that as a given, I think.

I remember the Crows did some similar things back in their pre-seasons under Blight.
Boxing, abdominal strength, etc.
They then did lots of extra running and fitness work in the final month of the H&A season.

Go figure!
Conclusion: Our study showed that pre-season training load is not associated with overall team performance.

Our issues are mental ...... the belief we are good enough

Could be, but no doubt we lacked fitness last season. Perhaps, that has a cascading effect on mental problems too.

You know what Banger Harvey always used to do? Extra running. You know what Riewoldt used to do? Extra running.
It's no coincidence that sitck insects who can run are getting more ball these days.

As long as we can outrun the opposition every week, that's half the job done.

Yeah... the days before Facebook and Snapchat and TikTok...try getting Gen Z away from their device for more than an hour...they get physical pain from the withdrawal symptoms and get all jittery
