Plan to Win will now be known as “The Modern Game”.
Plan to Win was originally born out of partnering with senior football clubs (only) and at the time, the name suited the business model perfectly. However, our business model has evolved significantly in the past few years and the name Plan to Win no longer aligns with our core business and hence it is important that we distanced ourselves from the word ‘winning’ and we re-named our business to reflect who we are.
The Modern Game has worked alongside and seen the value that Zenith Sports Services has given to coaches and players and we would like to promote them to any junior and senior clubs that may be interested.
One of The Modern Game’s business owners, Mark (Fish) Fisher has been appointed Head Coach of VIC Metro U16’s.
Kicking remains the most fundamental and important skill in football and it has been undergoing a silent, hidden revolution, one that’s gathering pace.
While The Modern Game have experienced the club environment and have a solid understanding of what works and doesn’t work, we do not profess to be experts in the management of a football club.
Brendan Mason is the Director of “Same Page Cultures” and has an extensive back ground in Organisational Development at both a Corporate and Sporting level along with a comprehensive coaching background. Brendan has coached Box Hill Football Club the year before it became the Box Hill Hawks, AFL (Richmond Under 19′s) Eastern Ranges (Head Coach) and extensively throughout both Victorian Country Football Leagues (Ballarat, Bendigo and Warrnambool) and the Metro Football Leagues (Eastern Football League first division, VAFA, A Grade level).
The The Modern Game message to junior coaches is simple….focus on the development and improvement of your players; not scoreboard results or winning!
The Upper Ferntree Gully JFC / The Modern Game partnership is moving into a 3rd year and continues to evolve and grow. After a successful season the Ferntree Gully – Belgrave Mail made contact with the president of the club (Bruce Begley) to enquire about what the club is potentially doing different to other junior clubs.
Over the past 12 months, The Modern Game has been delivering a range of coaches development workshops to a number of junior clubs. Given the amount of positive feedback, we have decided to open up the opportunity to all junior clubs and/or coaches.
The Modern Game would like to wish all the junior coaches (and players) the best of luck for the upcoming 2011 junior finals series.
