AFL: one of the most popular leagues

Most people have an affinity towards some sport or another. Be it tennis, cricket, football, rugby or racing; each person is passionate about something or the other. Needless to say, if you’re Australian, you already know what AFL is. Since its inception, the Australian Football League has been the rugby benchmark for Australians.

Nathan Fyfe – Most Prestigious Person of 2015

Born on September 18, 1991, he began his AFL career by making his Fremantle debut against the Richmond Tigers and emerged as a rising star by being nominated for the AFL Rising Star Award in 2010. Since then, he has made strides giant in helping Fremantle make their first AFL Grand Final appearance in 2013. For many aspiring professional players, Nathan Fyfe is an inspiration.

But inspiration alone is not enough because, for any athlete, practice and expertise come first. If you only aspire to be a footballer and you don’t train, you are only kidding yourself. Rugby is a physical sport and for that you need to have the right physique as well as having the necessary skills like ball control, attack and defence.

Why is training essential before going out into the field?

If you follow the interviews of eminent players like Nat Fyle, Patrick Dangerfield and Todd Goldstein, you will know that none of them started playing the game directly on the field. They practiced and practiced at home with a dummy ball until they felt confident about stepping onto the field. Without that confidence, it can be disastrous for anyone playing the sport professionally.

Needless to say, we all know that this game is purely physical and what happens if you start playing it without much training? Well, it’ll be a couple of broken bones, broken ribs, days in the hospital, and a huge medical bill.

To avoid this, you must ensure that you or your children are properly trained and equipped to play professionally.
