The key is at your local club but will we ever unlock it, we have johny's dad coaching them and freds dad assistant coach and water bottle man, great guys doing there best but is it good enough ?????'"
i am a youth coach and im also johny's Dad. i played RL at a decent amateur level for 20 odd years. ive been on every coaching course i can. im not saying that im the best by any means, but just who do you expect is going to coach the youngsters for nothing ? morgan, tony smith ect?
we do do our best and you question weather that is good enough. probably not good enough to beat the aussies in the next few years, but i doubt any other system would get different results with the small pool of players that we have to work with. as i said in a previous post, when we are dealing with a minority sport as RL is in this country, we are always going to struggle against the aussies when RL is there national sport. also as a nation the aussies are very sport consious across the board, were as we as a nation have a big obesity problem compared to them. then there is the issue of our school children being taught that competing is more important than winning. from what i know in aussie they are taught to be winners from an early age.
