My pop used to pick me up and take me to footy games as a kid, last game of the season I slept over a friends house night before and didn't play last game - team lost by a couple points and missed B&F by a few votes (wouldn't have won it anyway lol).
Anyway my pop was waiting at home when i got there, had come to pick me up.. gave me a stern word along the lines of "If you decide to do something, then you need to give it 100% commitment, see it through and not be half arsed".
Sort of stuck with me forever, and although I have a fair heavy load with sport commitments, i've always ensured they dont clash or impact each other.. guess thats what Darcy has to work out now - what's important to him in terms of priorities and give that his dedication and lay back on the excess.
There would be nothing worse than him going hard now and by the time he gets to 17/18 he's burnt out, tired, over it all and then lost to sport.
There's a massive overlap, he captains one side that he hasn't trained with since October, now he's getting caught up between playing with older mates or playing where he did last year and should this year, he won the B&F in his first year at a new club, the played in the GF, I think he should be out there again.
Yep, I've seen it many times.
