Former Central District captain Daniel Healy has praised the impact Leading Teams had in helping form the Bulldogs’ dynasty in the early 2000s.

Leading Teams is an Australian training company co-founded in 2000 by Ray McLean, who ran a pilot program with Central District Football Club.

Upon retiring, Healy joined Leading Teams and now hopes to forge the same success with the Crows.

“I still believe that (Leading Teams) was strongly influential with the run of premierships (the club) had,” Healy told FootyPlus, brought to you by Toyota.

“The vulnerability to say ‘I stuffed up’ and “we didn’t get that right’, that’s the important bit.

“If a coach or a leader can say that, it means I walk away as a follower and say maybe I should look at my own performances.”

Crows coach Don Pyke has thrown his support behind the practice.

“The first people to get feedback were myself and the captains,” Pyke said.

“We model the behaviour that’s required in terms of what’s doing well, what I need to keep doing, what I can start doing and what I need to stop doing.

“Leading Teams really allows them to build that into a foundation to be the best they can be as an Adelaide Crow.”
