A registered psychologist cast doubt on the qualifications of people behind an outfit called Creative Mind that had been engaged to conduct a pre-season taring camp for the Adelaide Football Club. The event was controversial. (But not as controversial as Melbourne’s – they cancelled theirs.) The camp was modestly called ‘Mankind Project.’ On the website www.the soulspace.com.au, the qualifications of the principal of Creative Mind were described as:
Amon is trained in a range of coaching, assessment and training approaches, including Vertical Mindset Assessment and Coaching, Power Stage Assessment and Coaching, and more. He integrates those coaching approaches with extensive experience in the leadership field, and through a long-time involvement with the national masculinity and men’s work community.
You might wonder if Amon has anything against national femininity or Horizontal Mindset Assessment and Coaching. In a statement to The Age, Amon said:
Our organisation specialises in performance training, focusing on leadership [mindset] and team performance.
Personally, I’m a coach, facilitator and trainer who has a background in leadership and culture in large organisations and I am certified in coaching a range of assessment tools and diagnostics for leaders and teams. I also hold a Master of Business from the University of Queensland.
Could it be that the word Amon was searching for was quack? Amon sounds like the kind of dude Donald Trump would appoint to run Veterans’ Affairs or bring peace to the Middle East – more bullshit than you can point a stick at. If I were a Crows supporter, I would be minded to inquire how much Amon trousered for the Mankind Project. I wonder if the Crows think Mankind is better off for the Project.

From what i’ve read Geoff, a number of crows players were none too happy.
Mr Pyke however, thought it good value.
The Demons cancelled theirs’. These guys sound like those into vocational guidance. They don’t get a good press.
Perhaps you’re right.
Sniff a bit of bullshit here.
