Blicavs is the modern archetype of the coaches megalomania, probably in the fashion of his predecessor Kouta! People forget Kouta's chosen sport was athletics until 16 or 17, high jump, hurdles and discus!
Can you see where coaches get this belief from?
Kouta was Victorian junior hurdles champion from memory but he also played all of his junior football, he wasn't an athlete turned footballer as some people claim.
Goldstein was on an AIS basketball scholarship at 17 unless I'm mistaken, and Jezza didn't play Aussie rules until he was 14, some people are just naturally good at sport and can turn their hands to more than one discipline.
