    Dr Ian, kan jy ons vertel hoe fiks ons Super 14 spelers is en belangrik, hoe vergelyk hulle met die ander Super 14 spanne. In die laaste wedstryd het ons in die tweede helfte pak gekry, maar in basies al die ander wedstryde het ons in die tweede helfte beter rugby gespeel. Hoe vergelyk ons aantal beserings met die van ander spanne - kondisionering speel mos daar ook ‘n rol.

    Beste Peet

    Ons manne se fiksheid is regtig van ‘n hoe vlak. Die “pre-season” was wetenskaplik en deeglik beplan deur ons kondisionerings afrigter in samewerking met ons supplement borg en dit het gewys tydens die toernooi waar ons op die einde van die tweede helfte, goeie rugby gespeel het terwyl die ander spanne tekens van uitputting en moegheid getoon het. Ek kan, sonder twyfel, geen vinger vir die spelers se fiksheid en kondisionerings vlakke wys nie. Ons beserings profiel was van so aard dat die kondisionering nie kon verhoed het dat die spesifieke beserings gebeur het nie - bv konkussies ens. Ek kan wel se dat die vlak van kondisioneering en fiksheid verseker het dat ons met min beserings gesit het tydens die oorsee se deel van die super 14.

    Beste dokter peet.

    Hoe moontlik is dit vir jou om vir Naka en al sy ander afrigters af te boek op ‘n permanente basis?

    Ek wil ook weet of jy nie miskien die span dan sal kan afrig nie want ek dink dat ‘n ou met ‘n mediese doktorsgraad verseker beter sal vaar in die pos as Naka.

    Ek vra u mooi om ‘n plan te maak want dit is marteling om die span so te sien verloor en verloor en verloor en met klomp verskonings ook daarby.

    Dr Morris.
    How is the team doing psychologically? I mean, it must be tough, playing a hard season and not winning so many games.. surely it demoralizes teamspirit, as well as individual play? And how do you go about motivating the oaks, without having “Kamp Staaldraad”?

  5. IM Says:

    Thomas,

    A good question you ask here. It was without doubt a tough Super 14 outing, with only 2 wins behind us but that said, the players and management are all aware of the fickle nature of sport. Sometimes youre up, sometimes youre down. The trick is to keep on working hard and to stay motivated. The players are all professionals with very professional attitudes and as such, they can handle the pressures that come with their jobs. We do have a person who comes in to help keep the guys minds on the right track and to provide them with skills and techiniques to deal with the pressure which is a great help. Add to this the fact that the team management back and support the players entirely and the effects of the disappointments and pressures are greatly attentuated.

    On the topic of teamspirit though, we’re very fortunate to have a tight core of players who all get along and enjoy playing in the Cheetahs set up. This plays a huge part in keeping the ‘heads and chins up’.
