Letter from Pat Nevin, ex-Chelsea and Scotland International, when Director of Football at Motherwell Football Club.
Dear David and Aaron,
I am writing to thank you for the work that you undertook for us last season. There is no doubt in my mind that in many areas it was very helpful to the team as a whole and to some individuals in particular.
The general fitness benefited noticeably as the season progressed following the extraordinarily professional regime that you imposed on them. It was wonderful to see the confidence, of the youngsters in particular, grow as their power, strength and characters were developed. It is vital in any modern sport to install an inner belief and I was more than pleased to see you major in this area.
Some of those younger first team players began to fully understand the importance of maximising their potential as they witnessed such attitudes coming from both yourself and Aaron. Your work on the psyche is I realise as important as your work on the physique.
There is absolutely no doubt that many, if not most, of the concepts used during your tenure at Fir Park will be utilised next season and for many seasons after that. It was you will recall the original idea that we would learn from you and then carry on ourselves thereafter, down to the day you have provided that service on schedule.
There is little doubt that the manager will from time to time contact you for advice and ideas in your specialist areas. As for myself, I will obviously keep in touch with someone I respect as a professional and trust as an adviser.
Pat Nevin, Director of Football.

The bodies are no longer as fresh as they were, there may be a few injuries around, and we all know how important it s to perform well in this month. Fortunately our fitness trainers have done a fantastic job in the off season (I can vouch for that now!), and we are still playing consistently.” - Andy Strauss, Captain, Middlesex County Cricket Club
