The Skill of Self Confidence: Dr. Ivan Joseph at TEDxRyersonU

KAVANAGH COLLEGE FOOTBALL

"He Ngakau Nui - With Pride" 


“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” 

― Muhammad Ali

One of the the best ways to improve our speed and our play as a team is trust, and one fo the best ways to enhance our trust is self condfidence, a belief that we can do what we set outto do. THis is not arrogance hwich assumes or pretends I am better than anyone else, this is a strong inner sense that i have put inthe work, I know what I can and dan't do, I know that I am going to give my best and I know that my team mates will give their best whatever the outcome.





This TED talk above on CONFIDENCE is a good reminder to choose the attitude of optismism, that good things are possible, that inspite of not gettgin it the first or 10th time, I will accomplish what I am trying to do. I cna practice more, watch you tube clips, ask a firend, consult a book or a coach.


When i played for Duneidn Tec and we won many Southern Championships we had a fantastic "rub man" and believer, Noel. Noel said he was in the believers club, he expected the best.

We can all help each other develop confidence and grow that confidence by giving feedback,positive feedback, by working hard and by keeping perspective with a laugh.

See you on the training field

Hi guys, I came across this basic buit excellent presentation of defensive movement

with explaination. It is easy to see andworth the whole 10inutes.

It captures in one place without multiple lines on a white board or static pictures

that require understanding someone elses map.



Monday morning training, just the best way to start the day.
Great seeing everyone in the morning training by the way.

 Kavanagh College Football

"He Ngakau Nui - With Pride" 


The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves  -Vince Lombardi


Prepare for the biggest year in KCFootball history that you can be a part of!

I am revisiting some of our first thoughts to put front and centre what this year is about. 
One thing is clear, we have to do things differently. Different to how we have done it n the past and different to how others have competed to acheive our goals. 
Single focus, team purpose, high trust and commitment, nothing less will do and it comes with maximum excitement. 
Remeber, you get out what you put in - so everytime we get together bring your 'A' game.

2014 will be incredible. It will be the 25th Anniversary of Kavanagh College in Dunedin and that on it's own is awesome. The joining of three schools create by the will and desire of a visionary community.

In 2014 we will aim for the National Secondary Schools Football Tournament. It is also the year we look to set a new culture for football at Kavanagh where the expectations are higher, the focus and goals of players and teams is lofty. We want the first team to be THE GAME of the   week for your friends to come and support, to cheer, scream shout and get involved.

  • We plan to enter the National Secondary Schools Football Competition for the first time ever.
  • This goal will be revealed next year Feb 10 2014
  • A new kit with names and numbers on
  • Three preseason training camps
  • New expectations for commitment, training, playing and learning this game we love
  • Building a culture of encouragement, involvement of the Kavanagh community
  • Placing football as the most fun sport to watch and be a part of
  • New roles for supporters and fans including video, statistics, photography, article writing, TV items and editing
  • Team building
  • Game analysis 
  • Weekly school competitions and more...

2014 is going to be the greatest year in Kavanagh College Football history and everyone can play a part. Keep watch, get on board - Believe!
