2012 6 Man Meeting Dealing with Adversity Adversity Agenda • Welcome • Guest – Rob Underhill • Dealing with Adversity • New Rules • My Routine • Tips for – the Referee - the Umpire - the Sides - Deep • Adversity comes in all shapes and sizes. It ranges in intensity from nuisance, to extreme distress, to conflict, or even crisis and chaos. Some adversity cannot be controlled such as weather and field conditions. Some adversity is self-imposed such as quick whistles. Some adversity can be managed, contained or minimized such as player or coach behaviour. Some adversity must be dealt with individually and some as a crew. • The most important thing to remember is that it is going to happen. We must accept it, deal with it, and move on.
