State of SA coaching
patto, it does not matter if I was at these briefings or nor, I think it was evident from the stands as well.
Tyson, I was not at Ballarat.
WA Metro, TAS, and NSW Country in all age groups and gender always plays greater than the some of its parts. Both are not a team of stars, but they play as a team and the results speak for themselves.
Only the coaches can make this happen.
The states that foster this type of coaching will be competative and those who do not, like we do, will only be able to win over WA country, NT and ACT.
We have to stop bagging the players and maybe look at the way we coach!!
AFter 3 days of posting and over 400 reads, am I the only one who wants SA to move forward and catch up to the other states?
Look at TAS this year in the U18 Mens. This team is basically made up of the same players 2 years ago in U16 and they finished in the bottom half, this year they finished 4th. Great effort! But if they had our coaches, would they have finished 4th? Who knows, but on paper, our team was made up of better players and we played at home.

just a question, did you sit in on player individuals, pre game talks, half time addresses or post game addresses???

306 - me too, but keely had limited minutes for the first few seasons but was given an opportunity. I hope in a couple of seasons time the froling v froling matchups are epic.
