Have to disagree. Wayne Bennett bench presses in front of his squad for a reason and I recall reading of admiration from some of his players about it. Btw, have you seen the arms on Craig Bellamy?!Nah, that would be for the captain or leading players to set that example. If he was a player coach then sure. But a head coach to inspire the players with his fitness? His job is ideas strategies and from everything he's said he's very big on the players driving the motivation.
Having said that you need to be healthy or your mind doesn't work properly either. Seibs to me looks pretty healthy (not so sure about the assistant though!)
Of course, I’m not suggesting it defines a person and that they cannot be successful unless they too are an elite athlete but when you look across the NRL, how many head coaches are in poor shape?
Coincidence, or…
I’m predicting a dig into the archives to find a successful premiership winning coach from a bygone era that was carrying a few extra kilograms but you’ll be tracking a fair way back to days of cigarettes at half time 😂
