Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I'm Gerard Waitley. Here's a snapshot of Wednesday, June 24. Ken Hinckley reflected on his 13-game winning streak in 2023.
Once you get past 13, it's a secret to success.
Chapter 2: What insights does Ken Hinkley share about his 2023 winning streak?
It is. We never got past 13. And I look back and think back and go, well, some of our wins in that period were just remarkable with what we were able to do. They weren't They weren't dominant wins that we're probably seeing from Fremantle as much. I mean, Fremantle have been very dominant in most of their wins. I do remember that season.
We did some incredibly crazy things to get it over the line and win games. And, you know, it was probably... I don't want to say it was a false 13, but it was a lucky 13, if there can be a lucky 13, Gerard. So... We got through okay. My last memories of a side that I think that I was involved with, I think it was back to Geelong. I reckon in 2009, Geelong and St Kilda played off in round 13.
Maybe it must have been round 14 where both sides entered the round 13-0, I think. And, you know, both sides go on to play in the grand final that year and Geelong get away with a famous premiership.
And Kenny with the art of coaching when you need to protect players from themselves.
Yeah, this is exactly the art of coaching and the challenge of that is the type of player that Will Day is to get him to be convinced enough that he's so valuable to the team that picking and choosing some contests and some battles is the right thing for him to do and then for his teammates to accept that. It is really, really powerful and great coaching and
And for Will, it's a great acceptance of his challenge because you don't want him damaged. You don't want him unnecessarily hurt because he's such a critical piece to the Hawthorne success as well.
So, you know, picking and choosing, I mean, we're going to get you set a little bit more as the game progresses, Gerard, anyhow, based on, you know, tackles, head collisions, all the things that are going on in the game. This is for an opposition player. Well, this is another step. This is for your own player, managing him very, very carefully because you know the importance of,
that he brings to the team when you need it to be. And we had something similar with Charlie at different times because he was such a combative player that at training I used to take him out of drills that there was just no need for Charlie Dixon to compete in one-on-one marking drills at training. because he was doing so much of that on game day. Then you couldn't stop him on game day.
It was just impossible to stop because that's the role he needed to play. But at training, I never let him do certain handball drills because of the agility and the movement because he had dodgy ankles and he'd hurt himself a number of times and he was such a fearless competitor at training or in games and he would just do it. And in the end, I just said, no, look, this is ridiculous.

Chapter 3: How does coaching impact player performance and injury management?
If you look at... the young talent that are going to bring the Renegades to life in the men's side and then some established stars on the BBL side for the stars. I think both those teams are in great shape. We've got to do some work now, I guess, to bring those fans back on that journey for the clubs with Cricket Victoria.
And I think once they start to see the season come to life and for what's true for the BBL, which is fun family entertainment, summer nights at the Cricket, those things will hold true and big crowds at the MCG are going to be part of our season.
And Brad Blanks told us about the Socceroos fan experience at the World Cup.
We have an amazing supporter base. And that game was, I think, a 12 noon kickoff. And everyone was in this outdoor beer garden by 7.30am. And it was just super, you know, just magical and made you proud of seeing all these Australian travelling fans just all in the one spot. putting on a show that had all the theatrics of like an English or Scottish fan base, which was just beautiful.
And, you know, chants that they've created and made up. And then the march from this, you know, beer garden into the stadium last week was inspiring stuff. And we've got an exciting 50 years of fandom ahead for the Socceroos.
