[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 953409, member: 65365"] You answered some of your question yourself I think. Try and calm yourself down. And it was alluded to by Tyler, open up your peripheral vision. Calming yourself down helps with this, the driver analogy works here too because when you are anxious driving you tend to go tunnel visioned too. Being confident is important, but so is being confident in your team mates and your team mates being confident in you. This aligns with the training aspect Tyler mentioned. If your team mate doesn’t expect you to pass into a gao they won’t be running into a gap, and if you don’t expect them to run into a gap you won’t pass it into the gap. So spend time discussing things with your team mates. If there are some egos in your team that think they are better than everyone else as ball runners they will probably just want you to throw them the ball so they can do their thing. It can help if you throw the ball to a gap near them once in a while even if they miss it and then chastise them for missing it, telling them the gap was there. This will catch them off guard as they aren’t used to being challenged and it will help you gain respect. Only do this to the real egocentric people though, there are far better avenues for others; actually if you behaved like that with others it can be very detrimental. Take the opportunities to look around when you don’t have the ball, eg when someone is getting tackled and setting up a ruck. This is the opportunity to talk to your team mates too, to help organise the next phase. [/QUOTE]
