Ep #109 - Paul Roos - How meditation helped his coaching!

Paul ‘Roosy’ Roos has been a legend of our game as a player and
coach and has done some wonderful work in the media post his
career so chatting to him on Legends with Bevo has certainly been
one of my highlights.


I also asked him about those controversial comments by Andrew
Demetriou when he criticised Roosy’s coaching style back in 2005,
his response was priceless:


‘It was very strange, we were doing so much for the game and
promoting the game in NSW and it was like the CEO of Pepsi saying
don’t drink Pepsi in NSW, drink Coke instead'.


Roosy raised some interesting thoughts on the pandemic, we also
spoke about how the AFL has done a wonderful job to get through
the season this year and why it’s been a blessing to have footy
and sport to watch.


We also spoke about the benefits of meditating on game day as a
player and coach, Roosy and his wife’s passion for mindfulness
and wellness, playing with and against some of the best players
of all time, his footy journey and highlights of his career and
the thrill of breaking a 72 year drought when coaching the Swans
to the 2005 AFL Premiership.
