RLCM Extract from eBook 10 of an interview with Peter Louis who was head coach of the North Sydney Bears
....Q5. How important is impulse play in your team?
Extremely important, the reaction to the situation. I never try to restrict my players to stick rigidly to what we have to do ruck after ruck after ruck.
They have an open book to play what they see both in defence and attack, and encouragement to do that is given and reinforced just about every week.
This will fit in with the basic plan but as you build pressure on the opposition you can't say there are not too many set plays that don't work for you.
However, it is usually a missed tackle or a dropped ball situation that you have to be prepared to play off that and there is certainly no restrictions with North Sydney in that area.
Q6. How would you summarise your teams preparation each week?
We have a basic routine. The biggest problem I presently have with coaching is variation.
This stems from the personality of the team and having been coaching First Grade for six years with players who have been there for the same amount of time.
It is very important to have the variation in what you do but basically if it is a Sunday to Sunday game we do a recovery session on Monday, followed by a day time routine which basically remains the same.
We do change to match the situation, for example one week we have a night game so we changed all our training to night time.
We have done the wieghts training at night, the ball work at night and our recovery session the previous Monday night which is standard for night game preparation.
Most days are full on with Wednesday the only day off. Normally two sessions on Tuesday, weights in the morning with skills in the afternoon.
Thursday is an all day session with a power session in the morning and some light activity during the day such as golf, I try to keep the players together on Thursdays.
It's back into the office in the afternoon for a video session followed by our main ball work for the weed. Friday is a light run and a top up on how we are going to play. Saturday is a rest day in preparation for play on Sunday.
We try and stick basically to that pattern, again depending on whether it is a night game, or a Saturday afternoon which may change it slightly.
Q7. Players are expected to perform at their peak each week. How do you ensure this performance?
It is extremely difficult and if I knew the answer I would have the Australian coaching job. You can't possibly do it, and it is extremely difficult to be able to keep players up all the time.
The thing that does help keep them up is the variation spoken about earlier. Boredom is the biggest problem in trying to keep players concentration level and the more variation I can come up with the better they seem to perform.
We strive and struggle to come up with different things even to the point of training at a different oval to surprise them and say we are not doing skills training this afternoon but are going to have a game of indoor soccer.
This is the type of programme we design in an attempt to maintain their concentration. Rest and recovery is very important. As coach you have to be smart enough to recognise the distress signals and handle the situation.
Q8. How important is the mental aspect of players to achieve performance?
I would have to answer this question again with 'variation', because the variation in the training is the key to keeping players mentally fresh. It is the biggest problem that coaches have to deal with.
The demand on players is extraordinary, and maintaining a variation to fit in with this demand is dificult.
At North Sydney we have overcome a lot of these things because the players are involved in Junior Development whereby they can take off for a couple of hours, go to a school and be involved with the kids which keeps their mind occupied.
Parramatta also have their players most of the day and they have to get out and do other things which is a good idea......Click here and purchase RLCM eBook 10 to read more.

Perhaps the secret to the 5-day camp's appeal is the water sports - players participate in canoe team-building exercises on Narrabeen Lake - or maybe it's the adrenalin of the elaborate rope and abseiling.
