PRE SEASON TRAINING
Joining the club after Christmas this year, one of my main objectives was to get to know the players and for the players to get to know me. Vital to our preseason has been the establishment of our club values or 'Trademarks' - HONESTY, RESILIENCE AND MATESHIP. For the club to move forward in 2013, these values are critical when we are making decisions that impact on each other and the club.
Throughout the preseason we have gradually introduced our team structures and style of play. I have been pleased with the positive attitude players have shown towards implementing these structures.
Each player must aim to seek improvement in themselves and aim to help his team mates improve. As the saying goes, "If you always do what you have always done, you can only hope to get what you have already got." Clearly we all have to pay greater attention to our preparation for each game and our recovery after each game for this improvement to be realised.
Fortunately we have a squad that has tremendous potential. Provided we all continue to support each other through the tough times that each season will inevitably present, we will achieve this improvement and the along the journey share the joy of each others success.
EXPECTATIONS FOR SEASON 2013
That players be honest with themselves and with each other.
That players commit to our club Trademarks and our style of play.
That players prepare accordingly for each challenge and during matches work tirelessly towards achieving our Key Performance Indicators.
That the coaching staff and off field staff all commit to our club Trademarks and work tirelessly to support our players to achieve their potential.
I strongly believe that if we meet these expectations, results will follow and that feeling of success will gather momentum throughout the club.
At the conclusion of the season I want us all to be proud of our contribution to the club and be able to look each other in the eye knowing that we have given 100% effort both on and off the field.
