But it would be naïve of us to rest on our laurels so no doubt we’re looking to continue this improvement. “We are very lucky here at the Dragons the playing group are exceptionally hard-working. Which makes our roles in the athletic performance department very enjoyable and rewarding.” While staff changes within the Dragons’ performance team have been minimal, two crucial acquisitions have Pickworth excited for the season ahead. “We have created a new role titled athletic development coach of which Ryan Bailey Halfback Ben Hunt has been appointed. Ryan’s previously worked at the club in the part-time lower grade role providing athletic performance servicing to the players in the Dragons’ pathway systems.” Pickworth said. “The new role encompasses athletic development in with the NRL squad as well as overseeing the Under-20s, junior reps and pathways strength and conditioning and performance programs. Ryan facilitates the trickle- down effect of the athletic performance philosophies of our department throughout all rugby league at our club. Ryan is essentially my right hand man for youth athletic development.” Outside back Zac Lomax crosses in the corner “We also have appointed Melanie Olsen as our sports dietitian for season 2019. Melanie will be the sole staff member focussing on sports nutrition and dietetics of our players. Gaining someone of Melanie’s expertise and knowledge has been hugely beneficial for the players’ advancement of their nutrition approach to training and playing.
