Tall Performance Details
Tall Performance is a specialised AFL Coaching Academy. We coach all levels of Tall key position players (ruckman and key forwards/defenders). Our program then also integrates our Tall training techniques into fundamentals for the midfield as a whole, including structures and set ups for stoppages and clearance techniques.Our programs were developed due to the stigma surrounding the time taken for Tall players to fully develop their game potential. We believe that Tall Performance can fast track your Talls to ensure you get the best out of them this season. Combining this training will maximise the performance of your midfield to ensure they work as a well oiled machine. Our programs are open to players and clubs at any level.You may or may not know me, but I am Ben Hudson. I am currently the Ruck Coach and Ruckman for Collingwood Football Club, and now the Managing Director and Head Coach at Tall Performance. But that's not the whole of my story.In 2003, I was drafted at age 24, yes I was old and I played my first game for Adelaide Football Club at age 25. Since that day, I've played 168 AFL games, which is about 168 more than I ever thought I would. After 4 years at Adelaide I moved to the Western Bulldogs and retired in 2011 only to be flung back on to the ground by the Brisbane Lions. Again I retired in 2012 and was offered a coaching job at Collingwood. When they asked if I'd considering playing again, I almost laughed, but played another 2 years until 2014 when I finally retired to take up my Defensive Skills Forwards/Ruck Coaching Role at the Brisbane Lions.The point that I am making is that you don't have to be the most talented player to succeed, but you do have learn from your mistakes, build on your strengths and take on the game. That's what our Programs are about. That's what Tall Performance delivers.
