Most of us will have just passed the half way mark of the season which I can now be included as I have joined the South Yarra Football Club who play in the Southern Football League here in Melbourne where I'm playing reserves which is about where I'm at these days.
I have played the last 3 games which have all been wins including a nail biter yesterday where we came from being 1 goal away from rolling over in the second quarter and putting the margin to 5 goals their way to crawling back in the second half with 7 goals to 2 to win by 1 point. It was maybe the best win I've played in and at almost 33 years of age, that's saying something!
We're currently in 6th place on the ladder but equal on points for 4th so I hope to some finals this year.
I'm coming from a fair way back training wise though. I don't run in my training, just hit the weights and condition myself that way so I have taken to running Tuesdays and Thursdays as I can't train because of work. My fitness is actually coming better then I thought it would in such a short time and it showing on the field (6th best yesterday!!)
So the big question is, what do you need to do to finish off the season better then you started it? We all focus on being in peak condition for round 1 (and before for reasons I don't know) but if you're a finals team do you need to peak in March or September?
Let me know what you're doing to make yourself better in the 2nd half of the season in the comments section and I'll chip in what I can.
