Preparing for The Biggest Year in Kavanagh College Football History 2012
KAVANAGH COLLEGE FOOTBALL
"He Ngakau Nui - With Pride"
“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” ― Socrates
If I were to sum up this season (2013) it would be a 'season of learning'.
This was indeed a re-learning of the ropes at Kavanagh with regard to the Boys First XI and the rhythm of the games and practices as well as where we were at talent wise. Gaining a sense of the fields we played on at the times we did and in the weather we had.

Preparation, communication systems, expectations and understanding the demands on the players and staff/parents. From practice venues, times, gear and many elements you cannot predict without having gone a season from beginning to end, each of these provide an opportunity to improve and to learn.
I want this to be something we can all begin immediately men. Make this last season an experience to be learned from both individually and as a team. Reflect on some questions like these below or your own to be adding something more to the experience for the future.
- What one thing, if I improved or strengthened further would make a significant difference?
- What do I need from the coach and team to better prepare to play my best?
- What do we as a team need to do better, to prepare for the season and for each game?
- If a priority is to contribute to a winning season of Kavanagh College Football in 2014, what do I need to let go or do less of, postpone? Do more of more consistently?
- If I were to think about my best experience of playing in a team what would it be? How can I make this happen? Whose support would I need?
- What are the questions I need to ask the coach or others to fully understand my role and to give my best game?
- When I am I going to commit to success through hard work, discipline, honest effort, and service to others, my family and team mates daily in some way?
Great start!
We are already moving in the right direction - A year with more enjoyment, success, meaning, and football development has begun.
