Brisbane's been given some tips from well known sports shrink Dr Phil Jauncey, who's worked with them before, as well as with other teams including the current world Test Cricket and Twenty20 champions, Australia:
“The first thing is you don‘t use that word (resilience). Resilience is an emotion and a feeling. You cannot control emotions or your feelings but you can control your actions. When you say someone is resilient what you mean is that when things are wrong they stick to their Plan A. They keep doing what they have to do."
“I know when Great Britain had a try scored against them James Graham would say to them behind the posts ‘c’mon guys ... left foot forward.’ What he was really saying was ‘stick to your Plan A’. You don’t see Nadal or Federer changing things. Compare Bernard Tomic to John Millman. Who self-destructs and who sticks to their Plan A?’’
“Look at Shane Webcke who just kept going forward. Glenn Lazarus was the same. Alfie Langer would never chuck it in. John Plath might not have been super talented but you knock a guy like that down and he just got up. In the good teams after a try is scored against them someone takes control behind the posts. There have been times recently when the Broncos looked dazed and sad. You don’t see that behind the posts at the Roosters."
Harden the **** up
“Great players don’t worry about how they feel. They worry about what they do. This is where leadership helps. Players need to know what things are signs they do when they are playing well. For one player it might be chatting. For another it might be getting their hands on the ball. Teams have to be careful of the ‘here we go again’ syndrome. They start the game really fired up then something goes wrong and they think ‘here we go again’."
Kotoni's in:
“We’ve got to focus on ourselves. We’ve got to go out there and play for our fans and play for our family. We’ve got to show the fans that we’re still playing for them because they’re hurting as much as we are."
