Start by knowing the rules that apply to recruiting and employing
temporary foreign workers - or at least know where to find them.
Principal sources of law and regulatory bodies. The main sources of
laws and rules governing the hiring and employment of temporary foreign
workers in Australia are:
The Department of Home Affairs
The Federal Register of Legislation
Australian Border Force
Key rules and procedures: Many rules apply when an Australian
employer wishes to employ one or more temporary foreign workers. Three
of the most important are:
Work permits:
A work visa (also known as a "work permit" in some countries) is the
basic immigration tool that allows "foreign nationals" (people who are
not Australian citizens or "permanent residents") in Australia to work
as a temporary foreign worker. Home affairs prohibits a foreign national
from entering Australia to "work" without prior authorization. When it
comes to determining whether a foreign national enters Australia for the
purpose of "working" - and therefore requiring a work permit – Home
Affairs focuses on the activities of the individual rather than on how
he (or anyone else, including potential employers) categorizes the
arrangement. Home Affairs defines "work" as an activity: for which wages
are paid or commissions are earned; or compete directly with the
activities of an Australian citizen or permanent resident in the
Australian labour market. So, for example, a foreign national that an
Australian organization might call "volunteer" simply because they are
not paid is most likely (and probably is) "working" in the sense of Home
Affairs if “the work is normally paid, and therefore requires a work
permit”.
Consistently review the work permit:
An important part of the due diligence process is the review of the
foreign worker's temporary work permit, focusing on the following key
fields to confirm that they are complete and correct:
Employee's name (currently last name and first name(s).
Employee “Personal Data” (currently date of birth, gender, country of
birth and nationality, and travel document number, such as passport).
Date of expiry of the work permit.
Name and location of employer.
Worker's profession.
Any other note, comment, or condition (for example, prohibition to
work in the medical field, obligation to maintain health insurance while
in Australia etc).
Conduct a labour market impact assessment (LMIA) or an online job posting assessment.
Due diligence also involves reviewing the LMIA or online job posting,
as appropriate and when necessary, both for accuracy and consistency
between it and the temporary foreign worker's work permit Time:
Labour contract.
Actual working conditions (such as wages, benefits, working hours, job description and duties, work location, etc.).
Review the employment contract.
It is good practice for all employers to use a properly drafted and
executed written employment contract. The same goes for temporary
foreign workers. Due diligence includes reviewing the employment
contract to ensure its terms comply with the LMIA or online job posting,
if applicable, including the following key terms:
Cash salary .
Benefits.
Working hours.
Job Description.
Tasks and places of work.
Make and maintain complete and accurate records (and keep them handy).
Requiring employers to keep records on temporary foreign workers for
seven years - and Home Affairs' right to conduct random audits on those
records - means employers must prepare; and although temporary foreign
employers under an open work permit are not subject to this record
keeping requirement and audit power, it is still a good practice:
Record. Create and maintain an up-to-date, well-organized and easily
accessible file for each worker containing a copy of their respective
immigration work visa, LMIA or online letter of offer (if applicable),
employment contract, timesheet, passport and employment file. Review all
business records, including all payroll records and timesheets.

meeting the compliance requirements simple. Complize is a Saas platform

Why does it always seem like left-handed tennis players
are tripping up the righty tennis players? The truth is, left-handed
players inherently have an advantage over right-handed players.
Generally speaking, athletes don’t train as much on their lefty game
because there are just fewer of them. It doesn’t really feel worth
devoting so much time and effort for such a rare opponent. Meanwhile,
lefties practice against their counterparts all day, meaning they
quickly gain an advantage over their more common opponent. But beating a
lefty is totally possible and, despite common belief, doesn’t require
some crazy training regimen. With the helpful tips of ATP coach Gonzalo
Lopez, I’ll show you various ways that you can take back control of the
court and dominate against lefties and righties alike.
Controlling the height of the rally
Gonzalo
has some excellent points on the tactical structure of lefty’s that can
help you navigate the challenges of playing a tough lefty. First,
Gonzalo talks about the importance of controlling the height of the
rally. He describes the height of the rally as the place that you are
standing on the court while you are running laterally. Your height can
change depending on if you are near the service line or near the net.
Gonzalo says that the goal is to change the height of your opponent’s
height of the rally while maintaining your own height. The purpose of
this is to take an offensive position and control of the rally. If you
need to constantly adjust your position on the court, it will be harder
to control the rally. So making them adjust will put you at an
advantage.
While this can totally be used for both left-handed
and right-handed athletes, it is especially important to remember
against your lefty opponents since many tennis players have less
experience defending against a lefty. Therefore, keeping an offensive
position will ensure you the advantage.
Dominating the diagonals
Next,
Gonzalo mentions that oftentimes, the diagonal will be your best shot
and your opponent’s worst shot, though not always the case. When you hit
the ball at the diagonal that is on your stronger side, you have more
control over dictating your opponent’s height of rally. When you can
dictate your opponent’s height of rally, you can make them move more and
tire them out over the course of the match. This is especially
important if you notice that your opponent is a slow runner or is
slowing down in the middle of the match. Because moving their height of
rally will ensure that they need to keep chasing the ball and minimizes
the chances of them standing still.
On the flip side, if your
opponent is faster than you, it will be easier for them to take control
over your height of rally and therefore make you run more. That is why
it is important to dominate the diagonals so that you can optimize your
stronger side and have better placement of your shots.
Hitting at
the diagonals is also an effective way to open spaces on the court,
which is similar to moving the height of the rally, but along the other
axis of the court. By opening up the other axis it provides you with
opportunities to put the ball away, especially if your opponent has been
running and is too tired to chase the ball. The sooner you can dominate
one of the diagonals against a tough lefty, the less likely you are to
be pinned into a corner, while the lefty pounds heavy forehands like
Nadal did to Federer for the early part of their careers.
Hitting
against left-handed tennis players can be a major challenge, especially
if you’ve never faced such an opponent before. But fortunately, you can
incorporate lefty-conscious strategies into your training regimen that
is applicable to both left-handed and right-handed players. By
manipulating the height of the rally and aiming for the diagonals, you
will take control over the point and dominate your lefty opponents with
ease.

In this second episode of Murderer's Row, we're joined by Bryan Callen,
Jim Breuer, & Nick Di Paolo. The comedians talked about Obama being
gay, racist comedy, Bill Burr, worst bombing on stage stories, Nick
being threatened by the mob, Bryan talks about doing comedy at a charity
for sick children, & much more.
For teams that are RPO-heavy in their attack, the defense will start to take away conflict by bringing a safety down into the box either pre-snap by alignment or by rotation in buzzing a safety down into the box.
With this move, they effectively equate numbers in the run, and the underneath passing windows are typically left open by a 2nd level player whose run-fits are now taken away.
This creates the necessity of having vertical answers.
An offense can drop back and use seam reads or choice routes, but the
objective of any RPO is to run the ball while having a protection
answer.
Of course, the RPO can remain the call by simply shifting to a 3rd Level RPO.
Most of these are designed with some sort of underneath throws still
available with quick routes or key screens. When the offense is
successful with these, then the defense needs to decide if it really
wants to bring that extra defender down.
Today, we will take a look at three 3rd Level RPO with the Glance, Bender, and Slot Fade and how each attacks a void in the defense.
Glance
If the backside safety comes down, then Glance is a favorite for many programs. These typically are run as a 5-step break.
Glance can be run to the field as well. At Alabama, they call it “pop.” The idea is to attack space as Alabama WR Coach Holmon Wiggins points out in this video:
Glance is fine to the field as well, but you have to be wary of the backside safety. Noel Mazzone has his receivers flatten it out to what he calls a grass glance. The purpose is to not bring the Glance into the safety. He explains it in this video:
Bender
Another option is to use a Bender route allowing the receiver to bend into the void rather
than giving a distinct break. This type of route comes into play
versus different rotations but it allows the offense to attack a void in
the middle of the defense with an easy throw. Former Averett OC Kirkland Brown explains it off of a gap scheme in this video:
Slot Fade
Glance and Bender bring the receivers into the middle of the field, so safeties are always a danger, but the slot fade attacks a different void of the defense and can be protected with back shoulder throws as well.
Defenses are getting better and better in how they defend RPO. Having a mechanism to attack their aggressiveness can provide answers and explosive plays.
Planning for some 3rd Level RPO answers can be an effective way to get the chalk back for the offense.

Football Training Techniques for Football Training Like the Pros
Whether you're a coach or parent, how much do you really know about
football training techniques and helping your players or son train
properly to reach the ultimate success they're looking for? With all the
football training aids and programs out there, it can be quite
overwhelming and/or confusing.
If you're not helping your players or son dramatically improve in the
areas of conditioning, strength and speed, how in the world can you
expect them to have success, especially against the best teams on the
schedule?
It doesn't matter if it's Pop Warner or high school, you need to
focus on football training like the pros...it's all about teaching how
to develop acceleration and deceleration, as well as change of direction
speed. That's what gets you more offensive yards and prevents giving
them up on defense.
It's time to educate yourself, whether it be through the best youth
football training dvd out there, or a total football training program.
These days, it's not longer OK to neglect the best football training
techniques available, allow a free-for-all in the weight room, or think
"gassers" are sufficient to get football players into shape.
Even if you're overwhelmed with how to provide the correct speed,
strength, and conditioning players need, or you don't honestly know
enough about it, focusing on better schemes, scouting or film
preparation will never overcome a team that doesn't have the size,
strength and speed of the top programs in your district.
If you're a coach, it's your responsibility to give your team all the
correct football training techniques. If you're a parent and frustrated
by the lack of speed, strength and conditioning help your son is
receiving by his coach, you must do more than having your son look at
one youth football training dvd or use a couple of football training
aids.
There are too many quality total football training packages available
that are comprehensive and complete in the information provided to not
take advantage. People like NFL head strength and conditioning coach
Duane Carlisle are providing help to youth coaches, players and parents
that results in understanding what football training like the pros
really entails.
What needs to happen is that you take action. Get the right tools.
Help your players or son. Their success and happiness depends on you
taking a proactive approach to bettering their strength and
conditioning.

Talking
to God doesn’t always come naturally, but we have examples in Scripture
to help us. In today’s passage, Nehemiah strengthens His prayers by
recalling God’s character. Bringing divine attributes to mind increases
his faith and confidence in the Lord.
Nehemiah begins by saying, “Please, lord God of heaven” (1:5). lord, when it appears in all capital letters, denotes the word Jehovah.
It means “God who is eternal in His being.” Why is this detail
important? Acknowledgment of God’s eternal being is a reminder that God
is faithful. Nehemiah prays with confidence because he knows the Lord
keeps His promises.
The next Hebrew word, Elohim,
is translated “He who is absolutely sovereign.” This name refers to the
Creator and recognizes His omnipotence. Once again, Nehemiah
acknowledges an important attribute of God—this time, His power.
Nehemiah knows that the God who spoke the world into being is certainly
able to answer his request.
We may not use these
divine names very often, but we’d all benefit from following Nehemiah’s
example of praising God’s character. What attribute of the Father do you
need to be reminded of today? Take a moment to thank Him for this
trait. Then approach God boldly and lay your request at His feet.

The offense
is a critical aspect of any basketball team's success, and there are
various offensive concepts that teams use to score points. The goal of
any offense is to create easy scoring opportunities, whether that be
through pick-and-rolls, isolation plays, or fast breaks.
Coaches
also focus on teaching their players the importance of ball movement
and spacing to create open shots. Overall, the offensive strategy is
just as critical as the defense, and teams must develop a well-rounded
and efficient approach to ensure success on the court. In this article,
we will delve into motion offense, zone offense, and 5 out offense to expand your knowledge on these offensive concepts.
Benefits of the Motion Offense
As renowned coach Mark Cascio
attests, the motion offense is beloved for its versatility and two-way
teaching capabilities. It keeps defenses on their toes, as there are
endless possibilities and counters to exploit any defensive actions. We
will look at the advantages of using a motion offense, which develops
fundamental players and is simple to set up for new coaches. With its
positionless nature and emphasis on basketball IQ, the motion offense
offers a unique approach to the game that will take your team's
performance to new heights.
The motion offense is well
known for its ability to develop players with solid fundamentals. By
incorporating a wide range of skills such as spacing, ball movement,
player movement, passing and cutting, and screening, this offense
challenges players to become well-rounded and versatile. Players'
overall skill level and game awareness are enhanced by the offense's
continuous movement and decision-making demands.
For
coaches, the motion offense offers an easy-to-install system that allows
for flexibility and creativity. With its emphasis on concepts rather
than set plays, the motion offense empowers coaches to teach their
players how to read and react to the defense.
Furthermore,
the motion offense is a powerful tool for developing basketball IQ.
Players are forced to use critical thinking skills and make split-second
decisions on the court due to the offense's continuous movement,
screening, and decision-making responsibilities. As players become more
familiar with the offense, their basketball IQ improves, leading to
better overall team performance.
Attacking the Zone Defense
Zone
defense is a common strategy used by basketball teams to disrupt the
opposing team's offensive flow. To counter the zone defense effectively,
teams need to employ specific offensive concepts and strategies. Utah
Jazz assistant coach Scott Morrison educates us on the tactics used in the NBA and his experience in the G-League.
When
looking to attack a zone defense, the dribble-drive offense can be a
highly effective strategy. This offensive concept involves players
aggressively driving to the basket using quick dribble moves and
decisive cuts while teammates are spaced out, creating open lanes.
Attacking the holes in the zone can cause the defense to collapse,
forcing them to make decisions that could result in breakdowns.
However,
Coach Morrison mentions that if your team lacks the necessary
athleticism to consistently drive and penetrate the zone defense,
incorporating pick-and-rolls can be an effective alternative. Teams can
create mismatches and force defensive rotations by setting screens and
using pick-and-roll plays. The pick-and-roll allows offensive players to
exploit gaps and make the defense react, opening up passing lanes or
opportunities for mid-range jump shots.
When facing a zone
defense, it is crucial to focus on creating space, whether through
proper spacing principles or aggressive dribble-drive offense. Offensive
players can push the defense to respond by spreading the floor and
attacking the gaps, opening up scoring possibilities. Additionally,
incorporating pick-and-rolls can be a viable option if your team lacks
athleticism. These offensive strategies, when executed effectively, can
help break down zone defenses and provide your team with the best chance
of success.
Utilizing the 5 Out Modern Offense
A
dynamic and innovative strategy that has grown in popularity recently
is the 5-out modern offense. This offensive system creates better
players by emphasizing individual skills, decision-making, and
versatility. Players are given structured flexibility to read and
respond to the defense, which enables them to show off their skills and
make wise decisions on the court. Accomplished head coach and founder of
“94 Feet LLC” Kyle Diemer showcases this prevalent offense that we see so often in the NBA.
One
of the primary strengths of the 5-out modern offense is its attack
mentality. Players are encouraged to be aggressive and look for scoring
opportunities in the paint consistently when using this offensive
strategy. Whether it's through dribble penetration, backdoor cuts, or
quick ball reversals, the focus is on relentlessly hunting the paint and
putting pressure on the defense. This mindset not only creates scoring
chances but also opens up opportunities for offensive rebounds and
kick-outs to shooters.
Currently, the 5-out offense's
success depends heavily on spacing. In order to spread out the opponent
and open up lanes for drives, the offense positions all five of its
players on the perimeter. Proper spacing allows for effective ball
movement, quick decision-making, and clear driving angles. The emphasis
on spacing makes the offense hard to guard and gives players more room
to operate.
Conclusion
In
conclusion, a well-executed offense is crucial for a basketball team's
success. Whether it's through pick-and-rolls, dribble drive offense, or
fast breaks, the goal is to create easy scoring opportunities. Ball
movement and spacing play a significant role in generating open shots
and exploiting defensive gaps. The motion offense, with its versatility
and emphasis on developing fundamental players, offers structured
freedom and is easy to install for new coaches. It also enhances
basketball IQ and keeps defenses guessing. Attacking a zone defense
requires specific strategies, such as the aggressive dribble drive
offense or incorporating pick-and-rolls for teams lacking athleticism.
Creating space and relentlessly hunting the paint are key factors in
breaking down zone defenses. Lastly, the 5-out modern offense, known for
its attack mentality and emphasis on spacing, develops better players
and provides structured flexibility. Its relentless pursuit of the paint
and focus on sharing the ball make it a formidable offensive strategy.
By incorporating these offensive concepts and strategies, you can
elevate your team's performance and achieve success on the basketball
court.
Today we look at receiver play, specifically route running, from two different perspectives. We first get some keys to being a great route runner from
Tony Sorrentino, Assistant WR Coach for the Minnesota Vikings, and then from a player, Will Swinney, former WR, Clemson.
You
may recognize the last name. His father is Clemson Head Coach Dabo
Swinney, so I’m sure he’s picked up a ton from a coaching perspective
along the way.
To illustrate the art of route running we
will focus on the Corner today is how to win the space inside and create
a window for the quarterback to throw into.
The Coach Perspective
To begin, Coach Sorrentino believes there are three keys to route running:
Win at the line of scrimmage. Defenses will press until they believe you can beat press.
Whether it’s for a job interview or in the classroom with his players, these are things that Coach Sorrentino is convicted about and will share in any situation he’s asked to talk receiver play.
Let’s focus on developing the top of the route, especially how it relates to the Corner route.
Fundamental
to any route is the Feet. Everything is about feet: Feet get you out of
the break and create separation, especially by staying underneath the
body.
Coach believes he can learn a lot about a receiver in
preparing for the draft by studying and analyzing the top of the route.
He explains the importance of developing the top of the route in this
video:
Let’s take a look at how this applies to the Corner route. In this example, he illustrates how Cooper Kupp wins the Corner route and the adjustments he makes along the way to win and create space for the throw:
Will Swinney believes there is an art to running a Corner Route. He sees it as being a master of deception. You want to make him think you are doing something else. This is done by marrying routes up and make them look the same.
He wants to get in the defender's head and have a plan to win the route beforehand and then adjust after.
He goes through the specifics of running a Corner route in this video:
The consistency between what Coach Sorrentino and Will Swinney emphasized is making everything look the same and having a plan. There
is the ideal break that’s drawn on the diagram, then there's the
technique and break necessary to get the route open and give the QB the
window he needs.
Receivers who are developed beyond
running the route as drawn on the diagram will get a quarterback in
trouble or at the very least force him to move on in the progression to
another receiver. We know our guys want the ball, so they should be motivated to learn the art of route running.
As
you get out on the field more in the spring and summer, developing the
skill and savvy of your receivers will pay huge dividends in the fall.
