GAMECHANGER ELITE PLAYER/TEAM PREPARATION - GAME MACRO MOMENTS

This time last year I was finishing up Gamechanger by Fergus Connolly, a book on individual and team preparation for team sports, and is probably the greatest thing I've read on the subject in my life.

It has totally changed my idea's on training and coaching.

I did a 14 part post series on it this time last year but it was exactly how I took the notes while reading the book, in absolutely no order and probably in the end, not really usable for you.

Over the next week or so I'll be reposting these notes but I have categorised them to give you a far better chance of knowing what it is, how and to use and when to use it.

Let's start with Game Macro Moments of which there are 4...

MITCH ROBINSON ON HOW TO PLAY THE WING POSITION

Mitch Robinson provides the different positioning as wing position player depending on the situation…You gotta love Mitch Robinson surely? 

He’s hard, wears his heart on his sleeve and is pretty good on social media as well – he’s the ultimate teammate. 

After teammate Hugh McCluggage was snubbed an All- Australian birth over “non-specific” wingman....

FREE TRAINING PROGRAM - AEROBIC CAPACITY TEMPO RUNNING

After a 6 or so week break from the previous season, a lot of players might be looking to get back into some running.

Normally the’d hit the road or pavement but I personally haven’t done a road run for over a decade I reckon.

I don’t enjoy continuous running nor am I any good at it but I can easily make do with tempo runs.

FREE TRAINING DRILL - STRAIGHTENING UP KICKING DRILL

Here’s a simple kicking skill drill you can do on your own or with a mate or 2.

The main focus is to straighten up your body (hips/shoulders) towards your target which is implicitly inserted into this drill by the use of the initial cones in the first video below.

Also in my video series I’m aiming at some baseball pads on some wire netting at a local area here in Newport, Melbourne of which you could do the same at some cricket nets and simple take an old bed sheets down with you and tie it up to use as your target.

DO WE NEED SHORTER PRE-SEASONS?

Should the pre-seasons for local/amateur football be shorter? Like nothing before Xmas shorter? This top local level senior coach thinks so…

I come from Warrnambool originally and down that way we have the Hampden Football Netball League which has been a top 10 league in Victoria forever moving up to 6th from 8th this year after defeating the Ballarat FNL and being coached by the almighty Jonno Brown.

Players the likes of Kevin “Cowboy” Neale, John Northey, Ronnie Wearmouth, Ken Hinkley, Wayne Schwass, Leon Cameron, Jonno Brown, Jordan Lewis, Gary Rohan, Ben Cunnington and the Merritt brothers are all products of the HFNL.

A few weeks ago this article came out in my old local rag down there from Warrnambool Football Club senior coach Matt O’Brien, suggesting a shorter pre-season period might do wonders for all local/amateur clubs fora variety of reasons, but also goes on to say it probably won’t happen in the near future sheerly because of the “change” involved.
