Worthwhile read for sports people to look within. Apply the lessons learnt to your pre season training.
Prepared by Patsy Tremayne , Sports Psychologist.

Pre Season Training Ideas
November 20, 2008
Pre Season Training Session
Training especially prior to Christmas must be fun and include variation. It is always easier in terms of motivation and also for the best results to train with a mate or a group of mates. Although at your footy club you will most likely be training twice a week leading up to Christmas, it is important that you are doing extra training sessions.

Preparing for Finals
August 16, 2008
This is the time of the year that all coaches plan for when they are appointed to a coaching position prior to the start of each season. The reality is only a handful of coaches in each competition are given the chance to live the dream of testing their coaching ability in finals football. When the time comes around for you as a coach, there are many little things that must be done correctly to ensure that your team has every chance of success.
Love of Competition, it’s all in the state of the MIND

LOVE OF COMPETITION
You cannot expect to be great without loving the competition situation, top competitors love competition because they know that this will bring their best performance out of them - they thrive on the occasion, the more you compete, the easier it becomes, the better you get.
