About the Author
Andrew McLeod has played in the Australian Football League (AFL) for a decade and is one of the most popular and talented players in the game. A life member of the Adelaide Football Club, McLeod has exceptional skills and blinding speed that have made him a fan favourite to legions of Crows supporters as well as opposition players and football followers.
McLeod has received numerous accolades, awards, and medals. He is a five-time All Australian as well as a dual winner of the Norm Smith medal, which is awarded to the AFL Grand Final's most outstanding player. In 2007, he became the captain of the All-American team for the first time. In 2004, at the age of 28, McLeod reached another significant milestone when he played his 200th senior game. McLeod has been named club champion twice, runner-up three times, and third once. He has regularly placed as a top-10 contender for the AFL's Brownlow Medal, including a second and third placing. McLeod also won the Michael Tuck Medal for the most outstanding player in the preseason championship game in 2003.
Trevor Jaques has gone from representing South Australia as a schoolboy and amateur footballer to serving as fitness coach for the SA team, which won the 1988 and 1993 Australian championships. He has played, taught, and coached at many levels and served as an elite-level fitness coach for more than 25 years. With this extensive background, he has at various times held positions as fitness director, runner, and team selector for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League since the team's inception in 1991. For the past 12 years he has served as the league's training services manager, the position he currently holds.
Jaques received his bachelor's degree and physical education qualifications from Adelaide University and his master's degree from Michigan State University. Formerly a senior lecturer in sport sciences at the University of South Australia, Jaques taught sport and skill analysis, sport injuries, sports conditioning, and football.
