Euroa Football/Netball Club
Coaches Newsletter No. 12
This is edition 12 of the Coaches Newsletter for 2013.
Some indifferent performances over last three rounds, were blown away by a skilful and hard running Kyabram side in round 14. An excellent effort against Mooroopna away in round 15 saw us fall two points short at the end after having our chances. Last week was our worst performance as a team against Seymour at home.
Hopefully after a team chat we will show how we have improved in the remaining two games and look to be competitive and get a win or two before the season ends.
Fantastic effort from our under manned reserves side last Saturday saw them also notch up their fifth win for the year. What could have been if the reserves had of won those early close games.
The under 18 side have won their last three games and are playing a great band of team football at the moment. Saturdays win against Seymour ensured that they will play finals for the second year running. A great result for Phil, Colin and the boys.
Club wise planning has started for next season.
The football club is in a good position and with recruiting and player retention from this season should be looking to play finals next season.
Hard work ahead but the effort will bring reward to the club and its supporters.
Hopefully the players will adhere to the TEAM FIRST motto and hopefully this ethos will see us win some another game before the year end.
People don't always play sports because its fun. Ask most athletes, most of them hate it, but they couldn't imagine their life with out it. Its part of them, the love/hate relationship. Its what they live for. They live for the practices, parties, cheers, long drives, interleague, countless pairs of different types of boots and runners, water, Gatorade, & coaches you hate but appreciate. They live for the way it feels when they beat the other team, and knowing those two extra sprints they ran at training or the training drills were worth it. They live for the way they become a family with their team, they live for the countless songs they sing in their head while training all those hours. They live for the competition, they live for the friends, the practices, the memories, the pain, it’s who they are.
It's who we are.

This arrangement will continue next season with other players already seeking games next season. The Northern Blues Development side will play finals football this year and Euroa should have a few representatives in this side. Well done boys.
