Pre Season Training Before Christmas - Objectives
I read an interesting article containing a few quotes from Leigh Matthews today - as usual "Lethal" struck a chord with me... key message.... The first 3 months of pre-season training for the Lions is all heavily skewed towards development of 'self' as opposed to 'team' - ' team' comes later in January, February & March.
I think this makes great sense.
Here's my take on a few development of 'self' objectives for our boys...
Nick Dal Santo - gut running
Xavier Clarke - kicking for goal
Jason Gram -gut running (with a view of moving into the midfield for a high % of game time)
Justin Koschitske - how to kick 100 goals a season - as authored by Fraser & Plugger
David Armitage - gut running
Clint Jones - "the drop punt 101"
Adam Fiora - how to kick goals on the run
Raph Clarke - taking the 1st option
I'm sure not everyone agrees with my 'off the top of the head' objectives above, but focussing on 'self' for 2-3 months sure makes alot of sense to me.

Failure cannot succeed in the face of persistence......
