Hawthorn star Luke Breust has shared an insight into his Coach Sam Mitchell's "balanced approach" post-game.

Speaking to the media this week, Breust highlighted the quick turnaround his coach has implemented whether it be a win, or a loss.

"If it's a loss, you've got 24 hours to be sad, and then you've got to move on for the week," Breust said. 

"And if it's a good win, you've got 24 hours to be happy, and then it's business as usual again. 

"It's obviously a long, gruelling AFL season, so the more you ride that emotional rollercoaster win the win-losses, it can take its toll.

"So I think I've really enjoyed that balance approach that he has been taking."

Now eight rounds into the 2022 season, Breust said he has enjoyed being under the helm of the first-year coach. 

"From a coach to player point of view, he's just backing us in," Breust said. 

"He wants us to bring our weapons every week, he's making it very clear in terms of what he wants as a coach, and it has been really refreshing as a player.

"The game style as a forward at the moment is nice, we're getting plenty of opportunity down there and trying to kick some goals as well."
