Personally I think you have it the wrong way around.
Pushing players to be better on field comes from the work, culture, standards and energy that is created off the field.
From my experience of male football clubs, they are still pretty old school, testosterone fuelled environments and need leaders who can harness that energy and get people behind them.
I find it a bit troubling that when i heard Caddy and Robey interviewed on a podcast this year they described Andy McGrath as the ânicestâ bloke theyâve ever met.
Thatâs not how you want the leader of your football club to be viewed by young players.
Personally I donât completely subscribe on this as a broader cultural thing but footy clubs be footy clubs I guessâŚ
