Training Rules

A concept created by the New Zealand All Blacks, stating that we do not need anyone to take care of ourselves. We do not leave an environment messy, we do not disrespect anyone or any team and we most certainly do not scoop down to any level below us. We clean up after ourselves, we respect those around us and we stay true to the standards we set for success. Sweep the sheds.

Now it is physically impossible to make every session your best, however, if you have the drive to make each session your best, the mindset you develop becomes so powerful that this philosophy will provide you with more hunger to constantly improve and crave more success. Make every session your best session.

You don’t have to love the work, but you must crave the result. A concept created by Tim Grover indicating that there will be times that you do not feel like putting the work in, not wanting to push yourself that extra mile, not wanting to work harder than everyone else, but you must crave the result. Craving the result will lead to more future success as the feeling of what you have achieved is far too great to give up. Crave the result.

High morale = high energy = positive environment. Each training and on game day, high morale is a must to provide the energy required for the high intensity efforts that you will encounter in hard training sessions and on game day. Some key indicators of proper high morale include; high elbows when hi fiving, loud voices throughout trainings and gameday and constant support for each other. Always high morale.

It is easy to not stick with a plan or program as it can be repetitive, difficult, not insightful enough for immediate progress, whatever it may be, but you must stick to the process. It is crucial to ensure you are doing everything you can to improve yourself with the plan that is created, as it is simply design to increase performance for your sport. Anything that needs to be changed will be done through by myself and other coaches. I will wear the costs if the program is not effective, as all I want is the best for you. Stick to the process.

When training and in life, distractions come from everywhere. It is too easy to get distracted and be unproductive, not getting the most out of yourself. If you eliminate your distractions in your training environment, it will carry over to your daily tasks. Be disciplined. Discipline takes you to places you have never been before, and you truly see what you are capable of doing without the outside noise. No distractions.
