Pick The Brains Of Our Expert Coaching Panel

Our bootcamp is designed to be more hands on than anything you may have attended before.

It won’t be just someone standing up in front of a speech box and reading from a script. Of course, there will be some power points and white boarding to explain how the strategies work and the principles behind them.

... But there will also be real life demonstrations and audience participation as well.

We will go out onto the football oval at different stages during the day to demonstrate some of the strategies and training methods being discussed. You will get to see them first hand being performed live in front of your very eyes.

You can exchange ideas, ask questions, and get the guidance and feedback you need as each coach delivers their feature presentations.

Everything possible has been done to maximize your learning experience so you can walk away with real strategies you can implement in your training sessions and game play the very next day.

And with this in mind, let me introduce you to our expert coaching panel - and what they will be covering.

Presentation # 2: Secrets To Midfield Coaching

After finishing his AFL playing career, Simon took on an assistant coaching role with theDockers where he worked as ruck and rehabilitation coach. It was here that he began perfecting his midfield coaching knowledge, working with the Dockers rucks and midfield.

He eventually left the Dockers to coach the Perth Football Club in the WAFL, and in 2007 was an assistant coach for the WAFL state team that played a representative VFL side.

During his footy career, Simon has personally played with or studied under some of the most intuitive football minds in modern football including Kevin Sheedy, Mark Harvey, Chris Connolly, Ben Allen, Alan Jeans and more...

Presentation # 4 - Secrets To Strength and Conditioning Training
 - with Dave Kinsella

As you know, Australian rules football is one of the fittest team sports in the world. Where else in the world would a player run 16 kilometers in a game, right?

Which is why most elite level coaches know that strength and conditioning is one of the most important aspects of our game. Get it right, and your team will run your competition into the ground and give you a massive advantage over your competition.

Which is why we have convinced Chris Dorman to join us at our "Coaching Bootcamp". Dave is the Strength and Conditioning coach with the East Fremantle Football Club in the WAFL.

Chris is the strength and conditioning coach at the West Perth Football Club in the WAFL and also for the Western Force Development Squad with the Rugby Union Super 14s.

Interestingly, I have seen a number of different programs from a number of different elite strength and conditioning coaches, but I rate Chris's programs as some of the best going around.

This is not surprising as Chris is also on the cutting edge of sport science, recently completing a degree in Sports Science from Edith Cowan University.

In fact, don't be surprised if you see his name attached to an AFL Club one day soon.

At our bootcamp, we will be twisting Chris's arm to reveal:

	Modern day strategies for preseason training. What to do and why. Includes a sample program for your team this year.
	Different fitness tests for pre-season training including discussion on time trials, the beep test and the yoyo test.
	How much time to allocate towards the main areas of fitness and conditioning, strength-work and ball work.
	Why coaches should focus on work to rest ratios, not just distance running.
	How to keep your player's fitness up during the in-season.
	How much weight training player's should be doing and why.
	Some of football's biggest myths and mistakes behind strength and conditioning training.
	How to run recovery sessions to prevent injury. Plus when to run them for your players.
	Dynamic warm up sessions and why jogging and stretching are now a thing of the past.

And more…

Presentation # 5 - Secrets To Developing a Physical Presence and Tackling Skills, with Dr Les Fabre

To round off the day we have got Dr Les Fabre from the Western Australian Football Commission. Dr Fabre has been a strength and conditioning coach for the East Perth Football Club in the WAFL and the WA under 18’s State representative side.

He has also published two manuals on behalf of the WAFC titled ‘Building Physical Presence Skills (for Auskick, Junior and Youth Football)’ and 'Building Balance, Agility and Strength for Juniors in Sport'.

He is a consultant to Junior and Senior football clubs throughout the Perth metro area and the South West including WAFL league clubs, PSA schools (Aquinas, Trinity, Guildford, Wesley) and regional squads (like Peel, Claremont and Swan Districts).

As a fitness coach he has planned and conducted pre-season training programs, all year round physical conditioning of Colts and Senior players, pre Match warm-up and cool-down exercises and drills, and specialised injury rehabilitation programs for individuals and groups.

But in this presentation, Dr Fabre will be going into how to develop tackling and physical presence in your players.

Why is this important? Well think of the West Coast Eagles in the early 1990's, Kangaroos in the late 1990's and more recently Brisbane in the early 2000's. The one thing that set these teams apart was their physical presence.

These teams seemed to be bigger and stronger than anyone else. They had superior body strength in marking contests, always stayed on their feet in tackles, and were always hard to knock off the ball during contested possessions.

And Dr Fabre will reveal exactly how you can develop the same sorts of attributes in your players. You'll discover:

	How to prevent the dreaded osteitis pubis, particularly in young players.
	How to improve your players strength at the body on body contests.
	How to train and enhance tackling skills in players.
	How to develop core strength and physical presence on the field.

Plus much more.

NOTE - Dr Fabre will be delivering a similar presentation at this year's $320 a head AFL Coaching Conference. But you get to see it for a fraction of that price.

What Would a Small 10% Improvement in These Areas Mean To Your Team This Season?

Imagine walking away from our Bootcamp and implementing some of the pioneering insights and strategies being used in the AFL today into your team.

What would it mean to your season this year?

Well just imagine it meant a small, but realistic 10% improvement in the key areas of the midfield, forwards and backs.

Let’s imagine that your midfield is now operating more effectively and running harder and longer than ever before. As a result they are now winning 10% more possessions than last year, translating into 10% more inside 50s for your team and 10% less for the opposition.

Lets also imagine that your forward line is now operating better with your improved set ups, and as a result are converting 10% more shots on goal from forward entries, and are 10% more accurate with their goal kicking.

And let’s also imagine your defenders are stopping opposition forward lines 10% better by reducing the number of shots on goal they are having from inside 50s, and reducing their conversion rate with more pressure on their kicks.

With a 10% improvement in these key areas, this is how much better your team should be this year.
