How do players lose the skill of kicking straight?

Only half kidding.

 

 

Jesus it's not that hard to work out, how people make out there is more into it baffles me, just watch all the greats same thing over and over again they all kick straight over the man on the mark and follow through, yes the ball drop is part of it and that should not change.

Russel Robertson had problems early then started to kick straight over the mark and it improved, Fritta started to kick straight over the mark and more often than not when he comes in on an arc he misses even if you watch Max he started to improve then has gone back to the arc kick.

If the club wants to improve get the likes of Dunstall down to go through it with them, it cannot hurt.

Great sports people have one thing in common they do the same thing over and over no matter what more often than not.

Is it really that simple? Greg Norman had a technique that nailed shot after shot on the driving range and in normal tournaments, but everyone knew it did not stand up well to pressure where everything moved a bit faster

Each to his own but you don't think Peter Thompson had any global impact ( without choking ) ?

Peter Thompson was a great great golfer but as a face for golf at the time Norman was the biggest.

Repetition. You need to practice practice practice until the act becomes second nature. When the pressure is on you can then fallback on this automaticity and execute. 

Depends how you practice though as well. Block practice vs variable or creative practice etc

Get some angry Demonlanders at training behind the goals deliberately causing distractions to simulate game day conditions with a psychologist on hand conditioning the players against the psyche out.

  • NON-MFC: Round 7

    Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
