    Dan Hannebery Article

    There's a nice little Dan Hannebery article up here for those who haven't spotted it. It is a bit of a fluff piece, but does alks about how he over thinks things (I've definitely noticed that at times on the field), and how he can be quite negative of himself.

    My son, whilst much younger than Dan, is very similar- it reached a point where he lost nearly all enjoyment from playing organized footy, as early as the Auskick level, as he would simply over think every component of the game (during and after) and become a ball of stress. The article presents me with a nice opportunity to chat to him about Dan, who he thinks is the bee's knees anyway, and show him that other people work through that sort of thing, too.

    As Longmire points out in the article, it's a good problem to have (assuming you can get it under control). Here's hoping Dan has a blinder tonight.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Would love the kid to have a blinder, as long as he can be distracted from having an article written about him (lousy english, but am too distracted myself to bother to fix it - do I tape wedding, dance or footy). Good luck with your bloke Stella; sometimes you just have to point out Its a Game!

    Ah me - a serious young chap, how well I remember it all. Someone tell him to take time to smell the flowers ... and then rub Carlton's nose in them.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Get out and play footy Dan. You've got your role, get it done (as Horse would say). You know what to do! Good luck!

    My son is very similar to Dan actually so I found it a great read. I loved the bit about Jack's reaction to the book!

    I think I am similar to Dan. Maybe. Or maybe not. Maybe I'm just not as good. Maybe no one likes my posts on RWO or couldn't be bothered reading them. I do post some stupid things sometimes. I make typos sometimes too. I wish I was as good as some of the other posters on here. Maybe I just don't have enough clever stuff to say. I really should think more about things before I post. Or not even post at all. Maybe I'm just not up to posting at this level.....

    ps It is a good article that I can hopefully learn a few things from....

    I reccommend anyone and everyone has a read of Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" a real good eye opener for you and your ego.

    With all the analysis that goes on in RWO I sometimes forget what it was like playing. All the chaos of a game and with an oval ball bouncing anywhere and we think we can analyse this random collection of efforts? Don't think Act. Embrace the unknown that is coming your way and feel comfortable doing it. To do it well you better be fit, skilled and try to please the coaches who are naive enough to believe they can control this game.

    yep i enjoyed it

    I must say for some like myself the over thinking on the footy field or any team sport didnt slow down till early 30's no matter how much Yoga i did.......sometimes you have to work with what you have.........

    he needs a distraction and that maybe as part of his role he needs to run the structures when in the HFF line and or when in the midfield.......he sounds like he can worry about everyone else and himself at the same time.

    PS no doubt all these articles he is writing on website are a good distraction were given to him by the coaching dept etc............only prob is that he thinks more about his game when writing them
