When Andrew Brayshaw heard about Nat Fyfe’s off-season training plans in the United States, he had to get involved.

Fyfe was one of a handful of Fremantle players, coaches and staff to address the room at Tuesday’s Annual Members’ Meeting at Optus Stadium.

After admitting his tendency to get "overexcited" and "overtrain" during the off-season, Fyfe said he was looking for a way to be more durable in 2023.

Fellow MVP winner Brayshaw was eager to join Fyfe on the two-week camp as he looked for an edge to stay ahead of the game.

“It happened organically. I tend to overtrain a bit, I get a bit overexcited,” Fyfe said.

“This camp was around making sure my mind was in the right space and ironing out my niggles to have a seamless block of work in the pre-season.

“Andy heard I was over there and he got on the phone and flew over. I’m glad I did as he dragged me through the running sessions as well.”

Senior Coach Justin Longmuir spoke about how he, Jaymie Graham, Matthew Boyd and Joel Corey also sought to learn new things in the US.

“This off-season we (the coaching group) did a deep dive into the season with some clear focuses,” Longmuir said.

“In season, you tend to focus on the players and off-season you need to focus on your coaching craft.

“We organised a trip to America, visiting the US Olympic Committee and professional organisations to dedicate three weeks to our coaching craft.

“We learnt a few more thing about our coaching practices to make the players better over the pre-season.”
