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

"Congratulations on that century!" Bart gives her a big clasp. "I heard about that. A sign of real progress. Having said that, what do you think the differences between being a starter and being a reserve have been for you, other than more playing time, and how do you think you're doing with them? And specifically, how can I help you with anything that you need help with, keeping your head in the game and all that?"

She's almost bashful at the compliment, this is old coach who knew her as a reserve after all, but before she could react much, there were suddenly questions to field.

They felt like a test questions and she couldn't figure out what answer he wanted. "Uh...more responsibility? Like ye gotta be able and ready to play and deliver. And there's more expectation I guess? Like if ye don't do well as a reserve it's disappointing but it's not the same as when a starter is doing badly." She scratched her head, a bit lost on how to judge how she was doing with all that. "Well me head's in the game, don't worry! Where else would it be?"

	"Sometimes it's hard for people to jump to starting from reserves. Sounds like you've got it under control, though. Want to show me some of your new fancy moves?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
