Focus and Dedication
Posted on March 24th, 2008 by Georgina LennonIt’s almost time for the LIVE game against Milton Keynes on Setanta Sports 1, so I decided to take myself along to practice and see how the guys were feeling about it - check if the nerves had set in and see first hand how hard they have been working.
It certainly wasn’t for the faint hearted, as Sterling had the boys work on everything from defence to shooting, running drill after drill, followed by so many sprints, I lost count.
Once they caught their breath, I managed to grab a quick chat with Sterling, Big Mo and Rob to find out just how they were feeling and if the cameras being on them would make a difference to the game.
Mo played it cool, saying he isn’t too worried about being in the spotlight, as he’s done it before with the German team.
Rob is also feeling confident and says that he’ll be telling the boys to stay alert and play hard on Wednesday.
And Sterling, well all he’s looking for is commitment and focus from his team, and believes that if they can achieve that, then the win is well within their reach.
A quick day off and it was back to work for the team, as they headed out the door before 9AM to run the treadmill, followed by a two-hour practice session, while the rest of us had a lie-in and ate the rest of our Easter eggs.
There is no such thing as a bank holiday for these boys, just focus and dedication.
