Switching Intimidation for Team work

Intimidation is one of the best things you can have when playing a contacted sport like rugby. My favor team in rugby is the New Zealand All blacks males rugby team they have defiantly perfected intimidation. For anyone that does not know a thing about rugby or the teams the All Black are ten time winners of the World cup.  

But they have really taken the intimidation factor to heart before every international game the whole team go and perform a Haka worrier dance. They stand on the pitch and scream at the top of their lungs and dance.

As a golden hawk I can relate to intimidation maybe not to the point the All Black have perfected but good enough. In the KASSAA league my past and present lady hawks have taken the championship dozens of times. At the moment holding the championship for numerous years in a row. We as hawk have used this to are advantage for years and will contain to do so.

Last year we faced for the first time of never having a single grade 12 lady hawk on are team. We where constantly forced to work on fundaments such a team work, positive attitude and responsibility because we had lost the “size” we used in the past. NDSS always had the biggest, fasted and best player in the KASSA bored to last year. We were a team of no “size”. For the first time NDSS was a small time in Size and numbers. But through out the season we had an up hill battle on how to overcome this. We became a fast team and a family. We built on become a team and working together.

By the end of the season we had developed a chemistry that was real and will carry on through to our up coming season in 2012.
