Hawthorn young gun Nick Watson has revealed head coach Sam Mitchell is the one who has helped him with his early goal kicking issues.

The small forward told Sam McClure and Matthew Lloyd that Mitchell pulled him aside after the Richmond game where he kicked four behinds and told Watson he’d be the one to get his goal kicking right.

“Before every session we’ve been out there early doing routine, working on a bit of everything,” Watson said.
