challenge kids older players push pushed seniors treated whatever younger
My younger kids are great. They did whatever they could to make those seniors better.

We have been looking forward to this day. The talent in the AFL has improved dramatically from my first years in the league where now teams are deep enough that they can't protect everyone.

This is going to be fun, starting from scratch and building a competitive team.

adversity awful benefits blast emotion help players press share
I know the benefits of being up in the press box. You see an awful lot more and it's not as chaotic. But the emotion of the game, it's real and you get to look eyeball to eyeball with your players and you get to share the emotion of the game.

against beat brian change coaching contain defensive energy figure forcing player players spend trying turn
You turn on the film and the No. 1 player you're going to game-plan around is Brian Calhoun. He's the No. 1 player that we game-plan around (offensively). So, conversely, as a defensive coach, you're going to spend a lot of energy in trying to contain, throttle, and frustrate Calhoun, while forcing other players to beat you. If I'm coaching against us, the first thing I'm going to do is figure out a way to contain Brian because he can change a game, and change it fast.
