RLCM 'Everyday' Coaching Quote
"As a coach, my challenge is to foster opportunities and experiences that achieve this success within a player-centred environment. If I am able to do this, then I believe we start to develop well-rounded individuals, not just players. I would like to think it is a 'holistic' coaching philosphy

* HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR PLAYERS WITHOUT STIFLING THEIR CREATIVITY.
With Matthew Elliott - Canberra Raiders Head Coach and Steve Folkes -
Bulldogs Head Coach - Written by Ashley Bradnam
In the contemporary world of rugby league coaches
often fall prone to neglecting the game's principle
fundamentals in an effort to fine tune their team's
more ornamental, or impressive features.
Completion rates, possession flows, off-the-ball
play. The list goes on. Important sure, but at least
two National Rugby League coaches say the pursuit
of the perfect stats sheet may come at a hefty price.
Canterbury mentor Steven Folkes and Canberra
coach Mat Elliott caught up with RLCM recently
to discuss this, and other issues. Folkes admitting
it's important to remain aware of the real issues
affecting a team's performance.
"I think rugby league is a very simple game and I
think at times people tend to over complicate things
when it's not necessary.
"Basically, it gets down to advancing the football down the field as efficiently as you can and then putting the ball over the line at the
end. When the other teams got the ball, you do your best to stop them. See, it's pretty simple.
"You appoint players with talent so you should let them use it and
not try to over coach them too much".
While admitting that discipline ultimately plays a
huge part in determining how successfully the team
achieves its goals, there's no doubt that Folkes'
philosophy is a welcome relief to coaches struggling
to adapt to the sometimes complex, more
innovative methods of the last decade.
Season 2000 was a perfect example for the Bulldogs, which saw
them leading the comp on completion rates but finish well down the ladder and out of finals contention.
Canberra's Mat Elliott agrees that while stats do have a role to play, they're not always a reliable indicator.
"Statistics are a good measure of performance in some
respects, not in all respects. There are a lot of reasons
why you may get good stats when you've performed
poorly and poor stats when you've played well.
"But having said that I think they are an effective way of
pointing out some key areas where you need to improve".
The key to stats, both coaches agree, is finding the
balance in using them. Says Folkes. "At half time I
usually have a look to see who's leading the tackle
count, hit ups, that sort of thing.
"I need to assess what sort of workload the guys have come up with so I can decide who needs a rest.
"Hopefully during the game you can assess that
yourself, but sometimes the stats will tell us if we're
not positioning up correctly in a particular area of the
field or whether we need to swap a player in the
defensive line. They have a role, sure, but completions
are not the be all and end all in my book".
There are of course other, more straightforward ways
to gain feedback on your player's performance. Try
asking them.
Folkes says, "We have a system at the
moment where we are coming up to a game and we
get the players to assess their own games from an
individual tape and fill in a bit of a questionnaire about
different areas of their performance.
"We get them to assess areas such as their go-forward, passing,
domination in defence, marker-play and the like and
then get them to fill out a sheet on this weekend's
opposition. It's a way of getting the players to look at
their own efforts and then start focussing on the
opposition this weekend."
Similarly, Elliott encourages his troops to take the
red pen to their own weekend endeavours..........more
