Toughest Training Sessions

[Santoz]

Here's a thread I think might go well. This topic came up the other night at training so I guess I'll kickstart it ...

I was playing two's at the time and our one's lost a few games on the trot and the coach was questioning a few players commitment so at the start of the night basically that the night was going to be hard and if you didn't like it then you could head elsewhere. We did the usual warm up followed by a few short drills, then a series of about 10 short 50m sprints. We then had to do 200m sprints down the wing in pairs followed by a jog back to the middle of the ground, 10 push ups, 10 sit ups and jog back to the start and repeated the dose 8 times. After some hard contested work I nearly fell over when he he coach told us we had 20 laps to finish the night. Noone was to leave the track if they hadn't done their 20 laps.

That's probably my hardest night on the track, surely there's some harder one's than that out there ...

SERT selection. Never done anything like it and never will again.

3 days/72 hours, no sleep, constant running and push ups whilst carrying 20kg of food and water over Hills and Mountains, being told you are the lowest of all beings on earth. (Which we probably were)

Follow that up 4 weeks later with a further 14 weeks of 8 hr days doing the same bloody thing.

Fittest I have ever been.

If you know the SAS selection, it is based very very closely on that.


HEEEEELLLLLLLLL.

Do you have any idea what SERT is?

When i was playing for a club in the old Scholars down here, we shared a ground with the Tas U18 (mariners) and they had to do 100 100's one night, took them about 3 hours... Bit harsh to put the kids through it, it is only footy after all.

Lake Boga 1993. Mid season, after a particularly bad loss to Tyntynder, Coach Rod Wardle ordered a 5am meeting at Lake Boga the next morning. The team was forced to swim in the lake, out to a buoy and back, in near frozen water. One of the more bizarre incidents to happen that year, but must have done the trick, as the team went on to beat Swan Hill the following week.

mate of mine coaches kerang(shawn filo) they got beaten last year and shawn thought that his players didnt work hard enough so after they arrived back at kerangs ground that saturday night he made them train for a couple of hours.

Something slightly different to a physically challenging session, however very similar to what Shaun did. After a 80 point win against the bottom side our coach was p i s s e d off with our performance so he made us run back to our home ground ( 500 m away) and run 10 laps and yell out each others names, as the coach didn't think we talked or worked hard enough. Very embarrassing considering we then showered and went back to the oppositions social rooms to have a few drinks.

We used to have an army guy called Dicko in our side. He was a pretty fit sort of a guy, so one night our coach decided to let him take training.

After running us ragged for an hour he decided we needed to toughen up. So we stood in two lines 10 metres apart, one line numbered 1 to 12 and the other 12 to 1. Dicko put a ball in the middle. When your number was called you had to get the ball. Tough enough when you were in the middle of the line (where I was fortunately) and five metres from the ball, but the poor guys at the end were smashing into each other from 20 metres.

After 4 guys got injured, the coach called a halt and that was the end of Dicko's coaching career.
