Paul has made Van Livegood a more mature, smart footballer and is teaching him all the football knowledge and skills to make an elite Australian Rules footballer.

Needing further assistance, legendary fitness and goal kicking coach Yasin was brought in by request by Paul. Working closely, the two specialist coaches improved Van Livegood's fitness, goal kicking, speed and skill's significantly. In the process Van Livegood lost 10kg bringing his weight down to an athletic 89kg.

During the 2006 National Draft, Van Livegood was chosen by Hawthorn with their last pick for the second time. Press statement:-
