BPwizard wrote:Yes Laughing Kookaburra in hindsight maybe not the best way i explained that i don't think as coach you are required to attend every functions the club organises. But was meaning senior and Junior club functions i would not have time to work full time if i attended all of them, they would need to pay me more for the work i miss out on, need to work to live and keep the wife happy and the house with all the kids running around in it. Plus we did not pay any players at Angle Vale and i coached for a very minimal fee as i knew it was a new club with not opportunity to generate income with out major sponsors and home oval when i first went there. I always sponsored back in services or equipment what i was being paid.
With club functions there is time in everyones calendar that certain functions are gunna clash with footy club and non footy club, I think it is big to say that Coach should be at every function and never miss one, because other things are planned and organise. Players miss functions due to other committments so why cant a coach.
This whole lil debt started due to on person who stating i organised a function for players when the club had a function which i did state early a Group of players organised a night out for tea with player and wives and partners on a night nothing was on, but the club changed there function 3 times and told players it on Tuesday night before the Saturday, and as we all know footy takes up alot of time for everyone and the wives and partners did not want to change the night that had been organised. Things clash all the time everyone has busy life with footy and non footy.
Hope this clarfies it all up

A bit of explanation for my myths:
1. You play the way you train.
There is no correlation between the performance and overall quality of a Thursday training and how a team performs on the Saturday. I am talking at the micro level. At the macro level, yes, how a team gels, works together as a team and focusses themselves over the course of a season does matter.
This is more addressing the "oh we played like shit, it was because we trained poorly on Thursday" sort of thinking that grinds my gears.
Some of the best trainings have resulted in spectacular losses, some of the worse trainings have resulted amazing wins. There is nothing in it. Trust me, I actually used to measure it mathematically. I rated the overall performance of the thursday training out of 10, weighted the expected result on the Saturday based on previous performance and ladder position, %, home v away etc, and then tried to correlate the training score to the performance on Sunday.
There was no statistical, empirical proof of the quality of the training impacting the result on the Saturday. Strangely, the pattern that I noticed, if we had a poor training before an expected loss, we performed better than expected, conversely, if we had a good training before an expected win, we performed worse.
I think the one true "myth" that gets trotted out is that this game is played above the shoulders more than any of us could have anticipated.
2. Pre-seasons are really important in amateur football.
For everyone. Some people might benefit more than others. In my opinion and observations, they have far too much influence in how a team is prepared and considered. This influence becomes more important as you go up the ranks as the talent is more evenly spread so the little things matter more.
At Div 7, 6 and even Div 5 level, the more fundamental aspects of the game should take priority. Being able to kick and catch. Being able to hit a target by hand and foot, understanding the flow of the game and using intelligence etc are in my opinion, far more important than undertaking a great pre-season.
Of course some level of fitness is required to be able to run around and perform the skills, but I think generally speaking, at the lower levels it isn't as important as people think.
Also, pre-season training before christmas is hilariously a complete and utter waste of time.
3. Stretching achieves anything, ever.
I remember having the debate with I think zedman way back when. Stretching is more important after a game but even then the affects are negligible. Numerous studies have been shown the exhibits proof which shows it actually does more harm than good for soft tissue injuries.
Here is good read:

4. Every club pays players.
I am telling you. Mitchell Park do not pay players. Many old scholar clubs do not pay players.
5. Getting to a game early allows for a superior preparation.
All getting to the game early does is allow for more distractions, more claptrap, more things to go wrong. The other thing having too much time before a game does is allow for, erm, a premature, erm peak? Going too hard too early can be as disastrous as starting too late.
There is a balance there, but getting to the game early does not always result in a great preparation. Its more about timing and quality of the prep, rather than the quantity.
6. Business slacks make you a more professional and disciplined club.
Been done and explained.
* NOTE: these thoughts are my own and do not represent the thoughts of the broader Mitchell Park Football club, which is probably going to kick my white arse for thsese comments.

Coached Mitcham in 2013 and previously involved with Echunga and as a player at Goody Saints and Strath according to the bio from our president.
5th coach at BOS since we started in 2006 and the 2nd to come from outside the club / school environment which I think is a real positive to bring new ideas and people into a young club.
Good luck to him, I hope he goes well.
