Great post though, top work!

What I have noticed myself is that in the heat of the game these players have a tendency to really get involved. Yet in conventional training they can be disruptive to the chemistry of the group. As you suggest, channelling their energy is vital in securing the dynamics of the group and harnessing their individual skill sets. Spot on Corbin.

I think players who have ADHD/ADD are to be extremely valued in the team context as they are normally the more supreme communicaters within the side. In saying so it is crucial for their energy to be controlled and flowed directly into positive actions to avoid 'boilover' situations and sudden outbursts. The use of extrinsic motivation and material reinforcement can be key tools to channeling their energy especially into the finer parts of rugby in such things as kicking and set plays.

New Zealand 18. by Nursedude http://eskimorugby.wordpress.com/2008/11/19/munster-16-new-zealand-18/#comment-136 Nursedude Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:40:10 +0000 http://eskimorugby.wordpress.com/?p=324#comment-136 Wasn't this just a great game? This would have been a good one turn my fellow Americans on to the game of rugby. Even though there were a lot first choice players sitting this one out, the quality of the rugby and the intensity was amazing. Great ambiance with the crowd and the "double Haka". I thought Stringer played a great game for Munster-he is just a tough little nut-I was impressed how well he tackled in this game. This was by far the best game of any of the fall internationals. (Wales-Australia was a close second) Wasn’t this just a great game? This would have been a good one turn my fellow Americans on to the game of rugby.

]]> Comment on Coaching Accountability by Nursedude http://eskimorugby.wordpress.com/2008/12/06/coaching-accountability/#comment-135 Nursedude Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:28:59 +0000 http://eskimorugby.wordpress.com/?p=349#comment-135 Good point about keeping open communication. By letting the player know what he or she needs to work on, it lets them know that you ARE noticing them and you as a coach value their contribution to the team. Actually, this is good advice for supervisors in the workplace for their employees as well-a job review should never come as a total surprise, either. Good point about keeping open communication.
