Re: AFL Rd 11 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

I watched a clip from Footy Classified where both Bartell and Lloyd said Voss should be focusing on the positives in an effort to build up the their confidence which is rock bottom right now. Jimmy in particular said the Geel group responded to that type of reinforcement far better than the reviews which were all about showing vision and saying "you should have done this, you should have done that". He suggested show them highlights of the good passages of play say from early last year to remind them them they good footballer, are Brownlow Medallists, are Coleman Medallists, can execute under pressure. I think right now, it appears to me the whole club is as low as pregnant ant so this level of reinforcement needs to start from the leaders top down.
Anyway, I found the comments interesting but certainly worth trying some Navy Seal type stuff. That SAS TV show is exactly what its all about.
Yep, positive reinforcement. Take off the negative shackles, remove fear of mistakes, encourage free flow, risks, fun, enjoyment... focus on positives and what each admires about the others... go to Sydney today and have some fun together. Watch a comedy together, whatever. Bonding.
