CHALLENGES - MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

  • The biggest challenge for us is to ensure that the quality of CONSISTENCY in the Daily Athlete Training Environment (D.A.T.E)

  • D.A.T.E. is the same level required at National - State training camps (Best practice)

  • When we have final year students in our programs - focus on CONSISTENCY of the D.A.T.E. approach to education!

CONSISTENCY & QUALITY CONTROL - WHAT IS THE PRICE OF NOT HAVING IT

QUESTION- What is the cumulative effect of lost opportunities? not performing to your potential? (I missed selection, We didn't Promote.... We got Relegated)

  • Post season, athletes given 2 months in gym injury rehab core stability > ownership > What do you think is the outcome??

  • What athletes would you consider if selecting a team next week??

  • Students > what’s your philosophy on working to your potential - culture in the class room & ownership of your actions.
