Listening to the commentary around the Irish fly halves at the moment.
There’s a lot of focus on their weaknesses and there’s an urgency for them to be fixed immediately.
Which sounds like they’re saying whatever the players are doing in training now is not enough.
They are not developing at the rate the public demands.
Which means they have to find another level up.
Which brings us closer and closer to the answer being – they need to be obsessed.
They have to reach Tom Brady levels of obsession in order to develop quicker and stay at the near perfect level.
You might say dedicating your entire waking life to getting just one bit better at your job is unreasonable but it seems to be the nature of the industry they’re in.
