83. Lee Addison is a Rugby League Coach. His players say 'He is a Life Coach'.

A Journey with Bernie

If there is one thing that great sport coaches seem to have in common, it is the view of their players, that 'coach' was more like a parent figure then a skills or strategy master. When current Brisbane Lions coach, Chris Fagan was once asked 'what was his secret to inspiring his players to lofty heights', he calmly said, 'that at the end of the day, it is all about RELATIONSHIPS'. The great Alfie Langer and present Broncos Coach, Kevin Walters, once spoke of Wayne Bennet as more like A FATHER FIGURE, then a Rugby League Guru and current Carlton coach, Michael Voss, once said to a Radio reporter 'That if you can't connect with players HEARTS then you cannot take them anywhere'. The thousands of players who have experienced 'the way' of today's guest, Lee Addison, would say the same of this funny, connectable, loveable, rogue from England. Lee coaches LIFE thru FOOTBALL.
