I want to go from, right, if tackling is a behavior, right, what's your current tackle count?

Oh, about three a game.

Well, you know, if I'm a forward, that might be all right.

But if, you know, if the tackle count is important to the outcome of the game, should that three be more?

And where could you take it?

So if I can get them to focus on behaviors, they can go out and have something to target, which is really, really powerful.

So within the plan, I'd say, well, your training needs to match that.

Our environment needs to simulate what it is that we're going to face in the game.

So

Coaches, good coaches will do that.

They'll create chaos, unstructured games, unstructured practice.

They'll pull people out, put people in, 12 against 50, all that type of stuff.

They'll bring chaos so that the guys can bring order back.

So they're creating this flexible mindset rather than, oh, tough.

You look at all the Gaelic players that are in the county level, tell me they're not tough.

They're tough.

Look at rugby players.

Tell me they're not tough.

They're absolutely tough.

There's no question of their toughness.
