Swoopercoach Members Pre Season

Well it’s that time again for our pre season training to begin. Fitness obviously is the early key component. The old saying put miles in the legs.
I believe each club or individual should have an aim for pre season.
The aim:
to be fitter than any opposition side in the league
to be disciplined in everything I attempt to do or I am asked to do by my fitness adviser
Commitment and Consistency.
Commitment and consistency are another two necessities of a successful team. Commitment to a goal and commitment to your team depends on your consistency. Just as you rely on your family and friends, so we come to rely on each other because of our consistency and commitment. Reliability builds respect and trust.
Commitment and consistency build self-confidence and team confidence.
Commitment and consistency
Ø in all our football habits
Ø in our preparation
Ø in our training
Ø in our development of skills
will make us consistent and successful performers.
These few areas will make your side super competitive and will breed enormous confidence for the whole season.
I also believe our early training, forms new and will strengthen established friendships.
Pre season will help you build on a strong developed comradarie in the team and a feeling of belonging.
Have a great pre season “Swooper”

CONCETRATION By Ron Genge
Far too many events are lost by top line athletes because they do not have the very desirable ability to concentrate fully on their objectives. Where there is, are several contestants of relatively equal sport skill, the one who wins will be the one who can devote his entire energies toward the desired goal.
