IC/OOC: Portree Meets the New Consulting Coach
Who: Bart Roberts and a cast of dozen(s)
What: First Day Coaching
When: All day Jan 9th
Where: Portree Practice Pitch and offices.
Warnings:

Graham had an agenda prepared for Bart. It was going to be a busy day. The morning was going to be spent with management and the afternoon with the team. Lorna had the morning drills covered, possibly following Ellie's notes. She'd have no trouble keeping the players busy. At least it wasn't one of the days the charity practice, where half the team, including Lorna, were off with McGonagall.

10:00 Management meeting

11:00 PR (Gwen/Bart)(discuss any interviews he’ll do).

12:30 Team Leadership meeting (captain/field coaches).

13:00 Team Meeting.

13:30-16:00: Afternoon practice and one-on-ones.

18:00 Dinner with Bas and Graham

	A chance for Bart to socialize and tell Graham what he needs/any early plans he has... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Cav is eager for this dinner, a chance for one on one face time to talk about the team and everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm going to start putting together some questions for Bart to ask Cav but in particular he wants to know what's going on with Amir (not in a bad way, that's just a bit of an unusual situation) and also Cav's assessment of the situation with Ellie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The other thing, after having done the assessments, is that he wants to know what the talent funnel for replacing Luag is. They may end up playing Amir but if it's possible to have someone in before the 22nd that would be best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He'll share his short list, which is - short. Two names, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bart says "Let's hear it" and is pondering the prospect of where they can send abroad to look for one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Archie Ives is going to have my head in a basket if I do that. No, worse, he's just going to look at me and say something spiritual and understanding and I'm going to feel like utter shite.

	"Going abroad is fine, just complicates things and draws them out. Might be more difficult to get someone in time for the match on the 20th." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If we have to play Amir, we play Amir. He needs seasoning, and that would be throwing him in the deep end without a life raft, but we have two beaters." Bart understands Luag's decision, but man, he's not happy with how Luag left them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's good to give Amir a shot but I wouldn't want to give it to him if he's not ready. You'll be a better judge of that than I am." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: After work Dinner bbart 2018-01-18 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"I would rather play someone else if you can get them. I want more time to work with Amir before we throw him out there. And not against Ballycastle, either. They're weaker than their ranking makes them but it would be hard on the boy if we did that to him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
