Good afternoon all players, volunteers and supporters. Firstly I would like to take this moment to personally thank Phil, Rob, Hoff and the Coomera FC committee, for giving me this great opportunity to coach the Senior club for 2017. I'm looking forward to building new friendships with you all and hope we can support each other throughout the coming season with whatever challenges we may face.
My passion for footy and the desire for success is what drives me. And I'm hoping to build development, strengthen the commitment, make an impact on the success as well as encouraging the enjoyment of being involved in a country footy club. But I can't do this alone, I need your help so together we will achieve.
My appointment will hopefully attract some of the younger boys I've coached over the past years at Southport u19s. This is a great step in the right direction for the club and all current senior players. These boys will look up to you for direction, experience and expectance. This is an opportunity for the senior players to "develop" their leadership skills by engaging these young men by helping them fit in. And alternately I'm hoping these lads will drive you all forward with excitement, enthusiasm and a desire for success.
Our pre-season will kick off Tuesday 8th November starting at 6pm-7.15pm so please arrive early for a meet and greet. I'm a strong believer in high quality training performed at a high intensity level rather than long boring sessions. We will train for a solid hour at each session so please bring your boots and runners just to cover all bases. The quicker we embrace our involvement the stronger we will become. We will do 2 sessions a week (Tues. & Thursday) laying the foundations on our fitness, building friendships, establish strong communication and start the WANT & DESIRE for SUCCESS. Our training will be a combination of ball skills, running, strength and conditioning. I'm looking forward to meeting you all on the 6th (if you can make it) otherwise get on board and I'll see ya on the 8th!
