London calling: Tiger coach's new leadership boost

DAMIEN Hardwick has returned to Punt Road armed with a fresh approach to inspiring his team after being granted leave to attend a leadership course in London over the past fortnight.

Hardwick relinquished the reins to his assistants on the training track as he travelled to the UK for further personal development.

While many rival coaches and senior opposition football staff opted to upskill immediately post-season, Hardwick headed away after the club's training camp on the Gold Coast in January. 

It is understood a decision to add Sydney Stack as the club's latest rookie was delayed until Hardwick's return, after the premiership coach had invited the 18-year-old to live with him during his trial period. 

While Hardwick jetted away after the club's camp, superstar Dustin Martin travelled to New Zealand to visit family. 

Hardwick has previously attended Harvard University courses in decision-making (2017) and 'Authentic Leadership Development' (2016).
