The new buzz word for this season, is Marginal Gains.
Heard Ken use it twice on snippets played on the radio yesterday. Looks like he started using it a week ago.
Port coach Ken Hinkley said there were some signs internally that his side wasn't hitting the finals in perfect shape.
"A little," he told AFL.com.au. "You had the information weekly about what was going on and where we were at. But we weren't going to use anything as an excuse for the way we went about our September action."
.....
"Our focuses this pre-season have been about small margin improvement, which is what we're chasing. We use the term 'marginal gains' which we're trying to improve on and that's what we're set out to do," he said.
Aggregation of Marginal Gains was another bold bloke's theory. David Brailsford lead the revival of UK cycling post his 1997 appointment as head of high performance, then went on to be head of high performance at cycling team Team SKY that had Froome and Wiggins win Tour De France and other grand tours and week long tours and single day classics.
When SKY departed and it became Team INEOS he stayed on as head of high performance, and recently Jim Ratcliffe owner and Chairman of chemical company INEOS buying 25 per cent of Manchester United, his INEOS Sport company took over control of football operations and Braislford was given a key high performance role at MU. The yank Glazers who bought 100% of MU 20 odd years ago remain as majority shareholders but have taken a back seat.
