ALWAYS.
This year is the year Wests becomes a threatening word in the world of polo. We're gonna step up the game. There will be free training sessions and tactics classes. These will be held at a pub of my choice (the White Horse), please remember to bring pen and a notepad. I have organised a whiteboard outside as well as a projector to watch and discuss other teams weaknesses.
Bare in mind I want complete commitment. We will have early morning cardiovascular training sessions in Richmond park for which I have acquired tyres for pulling sprints (charge training) and other delights.
We will also be running mallet stripping and rebuilding training by the end of which you will be able to build a mallet from scratch blindfolded (heavy duty gloves and eye-protection are compulsory - we WILL NOT be providing these).
A live google map of known building sites with mallet piping is being produced at the moment. Scouts will be reminded to update on a daily basis.
Homework will be assigned involving video analysis, gear ratio calculation, disc production, stickering (this is a science not an art) as well as teaching of proven blagging techniques for getting your bike on a train, getting a place to kip away at tourneys (best done when the blagee is under the influence) and other essentials. Heckling will also be covered along with psychologically beating a team before '3,2,1,polo' has been called.
PM me for details. This is NOT a secret. Become the best polo player you can. Join us.
Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
