Harness Yourself To The Team

A highly talented forward leads hard to the ball. It is kicked over his head.

 

He turns at high speed and runs to apply pressure on the opposition who are

about to clear the area.

 

He creates indecision and confusion.

 

The opposition are forced backwards. His teammates have time to cover opponents and they force a turnover and a goal results.

 

What seemed an opportunity lost is now an opportunity gained. A love of high

marks and kicking goals replaced by Jack Riewoldt harnessing himself to the

team and a goal for a teammate in the biggest game of the year.

 

One of the games great players has his opponent one out in the goal square.

 

A situation he relishes and excels in. His team is 20 points down and being

outplayed just before half time in the 2019 preliminary final. A teammate

works into the space in front of him.

 

A single motion to the kicker and his teammate has the ball in front of goal. He gave up the opportunity to dominate his opponent so a teammate could win the ball. An incredibly important goal for his team and Dusty harnessing himself to the team.

 

Great teams are made of players who understand what the team requires

and willingly do it.

 

Enjoying one another successes knowing there is a greater prize available for everyone to share.
