I didn't know that.The interesting thing was that Brad Scott had us put all of our eggs in the sports science basket whereas Damian Hardwick pursued sports psychology, something that Scott shunned. For a while, our direction appeared to be the smart one and Hardwick looked to be a fruit loop. But then we were struck down by injuries that sports science couldn't prevent and the shrinks at Richmond convinced them that they were world beaters. And then they were. Now of course all other things were not equal but it was an interesting, dare I say, sliding doors moment.
Its pretty obvious alot of issues were psychological. I spent most of the time I've been posting here saying we needed to get better ports psychologists involved. Didn't know we'd basically ignored them but it makes alot of sense to me that we did.
