I am off back to the UK this weekend although it is not after nursing more aggravating injuries. we are coming to the end of the season now and the tension is hotting up in the camp.
A spate of last minute losses have won us some hard fought bonus points to keep us clear of the drop zone but we are still 'in-it' so-to-speak.
Our training this year has been great. Training with purpose and structure. It has given us the chance to fight hard to the end. But the onus now lies not with the coaching team but with the players.
We need to toughen up - mentally. This was laid out very clearly by our head coach last night.
How? With a dose of honesty and focusing on indivdual jobs on the field. Yes - perfection is nice to aim for. But what happens when you don't reach it? You often find excellence. I will take that any day! So remaining positive with this mind-set will be enough to find the extra 10 per cent needed for a win.
It is funny how one comment can 'snowball' on the field into the house of cards falling down. But that is the truth.
I for one can't wait for next weekend when we travel to Cork. It is going to be a fast, tough and physical encounter.
In the meantime I am off for some traction after pulling up short with a neck strain, then it is off to the pool after a field session with a client.
Have a great weekend - come on the Paddys!
