RLCM 'Everyday' Coaching Quote
"If you are going to be successful in this game, you have to learn, as a team, to be able to control the game. It's more important to be controlling the tempo in certain part of the field than others."
Chris Anderson from Coachtalk that featured in RLCM Book 26

CLUB CONTINUITY
Peter Sharp - ex Manly Head Coach
Written by Ashley Bradnam
Getting the Little Things Right
It's spruiked every weekend from the bowels of losing dressing sheds all over the world. The same message over and over. Chiefly it's coming from the lips of the head coach. "We just didn't do the little things right".
Aussie singer/songwriter Paul Kelly even summed it up in lyric
`From Little Things Big Things Grow" it's debatable whether Kelly had rugby league on his mind when he penned the verse, but nonetheless it's been universally accepted and repeated in the rugby league coaches' vocabulary.
So what are the little things? Every coach has a different opinion.
To some it's quick play the balls, to others ball possession, or field position, or limiting risks, or their defensive structure, perhaps it's their kick chase/returns, or all of the above.
Whatever it is, it lays the platform. The top teams in the NRL, Parramatta, Newcastle and Brisbane have vastly different patterns of
play, but there's one principle they share in common. They do the
little things right.
But there's something else those teams have in common which has largely gone by unnoticed by success-driven supporters and headhunting media. It's continuity. Coaches don't mention it all that often, and Paul Kelly's never written about it, but according to at least one NRL coach, without it, you'll always be struggling to do the little things correctly.
"My big bugbear at the moment is continuity", says ex Manly mentor Peter Sharp.
"If you don't have it then you miss the little things that lead to winning. And I'm not just talking about continuity on the field, but throughout the entire club in your playing roster and in your support staff.
"If you have continuity in those areas, as opposed to a club that is constantly recruiting from outside, then your attention to detail is far greater because you don't have to spend as much time covering the big things each year. It frees you up to focus more on the little things that ultimately make a big difference".
"Sharp has a point. Take Newcastle as an example.
The 2001 premiers didn't recruit an outside player for this season. In fact, with Glen Grief going to Souths, they went into the new year lighter on paper than last. But their continuity and club structure meant they knew they always had the talent from within to remain a leading force.
It's a situation Sharpe can only envy.
"I probably think the Knights are the benchmark, just a smidge ahead of Brisbane (in terms of continuity). This year they recruited no one so when they promote a young bloke he might be inexperienced in terms of first grade games, but he's very experienced in terms of the club and its system.
"The Broncos and the Eels are pretty much the same. To me, that's a far healthier position to be in than a club that has to go out at the end of each year and buy ten players from six different clubs.
"It erodes the club culture for one, and it makes it difficult to find time to focus on the little things and bring stability and confidence into the club.
"If you are out there at the start of each year teaching a bunch of
new players your defensive and attacking systems you don't have the time to focus on the little things. At the top clubs the players learn it as they come through the grades.
"At the end of the day continuity leads to better club players, more
loyal players, and cheaper players." he said
Leading Australian sports psychologist Phil Jauncey has worked with a
number of elite sporting clubs, and he believes that without stability and patience, weaker clubs have little or no hope of improving their status.
"I think where Peter Sharp is coming from is spot on. If you look
at the consistently strong clubs.
