What a wonderful feeling that comes over a club in preparation when the day arrives that signals the timeline shift between codes, removing distractions from the final phase of becoming ready for actual contest.
While squawkback goes into armchair frenzy with the next episode of the vicious & violent onfield altercation (from last check, very few have suffered any damage of permanent consequence ie: Ben Cousins flew to play in Perth even Brent Staker got up from the Barry Hall hit) a pride of Lions numbering nearly forty came to train in another weather disrupted session.
Plenty of visuals to engage the group, the 200 metre world record run by Usain Bolt in Berlin followed by the previously mentioned Shinty vision - learn to love our bats, understand what it can do and master the control - a challenge to all Lions.
Onto the arena for ball skills - figure five and then the multi ball motion around your partner while keeping the ball(s) active - all performed under close, constant pressure. Ash off to the side with some close skills work in pairs.
Captain Dickson led the running section, a five lap fartlek drill, many attacking the task with a ferocious intensity determined to show first hand the benefits of workload completed when given a challenge.
Presentation delivered to the group for honest reflection on where we all are at, what lies ahead and what is need to be completed over September for the Lions to begin the pursuit of success. No excuses, no unknowns, no misunderstandings.
