In an exclusive wide-ranging fireside chat, Insiders Ash and Danny caught up with our recently re-signed superstar Will Day.
Having put pen to paper on a new four-year contract tying him to the club until the end of 2027, this special pod will give Hawk fans even more to be excited about just hearing his passion for the playing group and club.
In the chat Day touches on a wide range of subjects including:
His push into the midfield and the Burge effect;
The benefits of a full pre-season;
Goal setting and becoming an All Australian;
Tanking and the media;
Tackling and his two-week holiday;
Buying property in Adelaide and signing his four-year contract at the club;
The ’71 connection with ‘Grandpa’ and his teammates;
And much much more.
We will be catching up with Will several times through 2023 to track his progress - but for now, enjoy this re-signing episode - Day for it.
Day for it
Great chat. A young man with his head firmly on his shoulders.
The most insightful part I thought was Will’s change as to how to become a leader. It’s a trap we (supporters) fall into (as do young players) expecting them to become leaders before they know their game. As the club motto says “spectemur agendo“ - let us be known by our actions - is a sound footing to develop your leadership skills.
Great questions and a fantastic chat with Will. THANKYOU. I was so happy when Will signed on for the next 4 years. Supporters can BELIEVE when players like Will who process great character and capability commit. Win, Lose or Draw tomorrow, I feel more positive about the future and can’t wait to see Will back in the Seniors next week. #GoHawks
