Alright boys and girls. I have decided to let you in on the secret ingredient regarding the success of the Bondi Beach Special Teams constant success. There's two main ingredients:
1. A greatly inspiring captain, who is also a great leader
2. A kickass pre-game playlist
Since you already know how the first half worked out (say whaaaat?), but the second half is yet to be documented. I make the Special Teams listen to my kickass playlist before every single game. Why?. Because I'm the fucking Captain, that's why.
Disclaimer: This is not a "favourite songs" list. Those are bullshit. Show me one person who had the same favourite songs throughout their life. Thought so. Anyway, without further delay, and in no particular order, here's the list of songs I force the poor sods under my command to listen to before every game.
Danger Zone-Kenny Loggins
Fuck yes. Rev that engine up and let's head to the Daaaaaanger Zooooone. It will make even the lousiest Punt Blocker feel like they're a fucking fighter pilot.
Footloose-Kenny Loggins
Yes, more K-log. Guaranteed to make the Locker Room feel like an 80's school disco.
Thunderstruck-ACDC
The cornerstone of every pre-game playlist. The guitar rift at the start alone makes me want to punch a kangaroo.
Night Witches-Sabaton
Just sheer relentless headbanging. Broken lockers guaranteed.
Eye of the Tiger-Survivor
Because Special Teams football is just like a boxing match.
Remember the Name-Ed Sheeran
Remember my fucking name.
Elita-Gary Barlow
Stop laughing. Seriously. It's a good song.
Can't Hold Us-Lewis and Macklemore
I have lost track of the number of highlight videos I've seen with this in the background.
Demons-Imagine Dragons
Because I guess we all have demons to overcome during a match. It also has a sick beat.
Love Me Again-John Newman
Fifa 14 soundtrack anyone?
I'm an Albatraoz-AronChupa
A drop bigger than falling out of a helicopter.
Ex's & Oh's-Elle King
Damn I forgot that this wasn't a hockey arena. My mistake
Seven Nation Army-The Whit Stripes
Best used right before walking out into the tunnel.
I lied. The playlist is actually about 150 songs long. Please forward all complaints to the nearest rubbish bin, and I'll be sure to read them.
