Activity 2 **

Imagine you are listening to the half time address at a football game. The other team is winning ! **   It’s just typical - you haven’t listened to a word I said before the game. What a waste of time ! They must be laughing at us. Now lift your game - this is your last chance ! Start winning the ball, do some running and score some goals. Tackle like you mean it - not like a bunch of sooks ! If you don’t lift your game don’t bother talking to me after the match. In fact, don’t expect to see me after the game if you don’t score a few goals - I don’t want to be seen with a bunch of losers !   behind at half time. Don’t panic, just focus and try your best. All we have to do is start running and tackle hard. We are fit because we have trained hard and when we tackle hard we always win. All we need is a couple of goals to get us going.
