Graham Morgan’s Post

Skills sets in sports traditionally centred on physical, observable parameters like skill level etc. This evolved to include tangible metrics of ‘form’ e.g. player stats that detail how well a player may have done over a particular period. “The thing we have analysed more than anything else when we’ve been picking England squads is the psychological… can these guys perform under that pressure to the best possible level? And if not, can we help them to do that?” Gareth Southgate details how psychological skills now form one pillar upon which player selection for the England squad is based. He details skills like recovery from mistakes, performance under pressure and sustained attention as key attributes of the elite player. “In the end that makes the difference between the very, very good and the elite” These skills fall into the broad category of ‘executive functions’. Like any other metric, they can measured and - more than that - trained and improved. We no longer have to view psychological skills as static and innate. They develop, evolve and can grow over time. Like the early adopters of any new evidence and technology, those players, coaches and teams who embrace this growing body of scientific evidence will see the benefits before the rest.

Incredible insights from Gareth Southgate and a stark reminder of how important it is to equip founders, entrepreneurs, professionals and athletes with the right tools to manage their psychology in high-performance environments. Key takeaways: - Mentality is everything - Drive matters - A constant desire to get better is essential - The ability to deal with mistakes or when things go wrong is vital - Knowing how to deal with success is just as important - Understanding ways to handle pressure is necessary As a founder, team leader or employee, can you perform at the highest level, day in and day out? Through lots of unknown variables? Through pressure? Through the opinions of naysayers and non-believers? Through consecutive bad quarters? Through failure? Through pessimistic macro environments? Through big changes? As the future of work continues to transform, as teams become more and more distributed, and as companies understand that the only thing that matters is how competent and kind their people are (not where they live or what their salary expectations are), high-performance will become a core value that companies seek, develop, mould and enable. High performance will apply to everyone. Thanks for sharing Steven Caulker 👌🏻 #embraceyourprocess

Some will say they shouldn’t have even got this far. Others will say they came agonisingly close. Both are probably correct. Whatever your view, I feel Gareth Southgate pulled off a masterstroke – against all the odds - again. It can be similar in business - no one seems to be satisfied. Everyone is criticising you. If you run your own business you have to do what you feel is right. Clearly you can be answerable to a board, to shareholders, but if you’re the CEO, you need to make the difficult decisions – and not be too concerned with the FLACK others will throw at you. You need to have a thick skin. To paint Southgate as a failure after four tournaments of outstanding success, is a tad unfair. But as in business, football can be unfair. Southgate is unlikely to be given the credit he deserves. And as a business leader, expecting credit for your actions can be a thankless task. www.johnstapleton.eu

Stevie Kidd Recruitment strategy - what he said to new members of the team.. The biggest compliment I can give you is the company employed you, now look on my wall in my creative room, not the board room, the creative room, yes what you see up on that wall is all my role models and yes that's sir Alex Ferguson in the centre. So I have never met Sir Alex, however I have followed Sir Alex since age of 12, he is my anchor and sets baseline for my standards I set everyday. He has expectations and I RELFECT THEM BACK ON ME AND ASK WHATS BEYOND THAT.. So my message is you have to deliver above the line every single day and be better and better each day but be you in this business.. NO ONE IS BIGGER THAN THIS BRAND NOT EVEN ME, but what I am asking is can you be this person who delivers to the highest of standards everyday , not for me but for you as its what you demand of yourself everyday.... and as I TURNED AROUND I would look at new member of the team and say, do you understand, response , 100% they would say... secret I would say is find your role model who sets your baseline In that moment we then signed the one attitude policy. I would say sir Alex is my role model, I now must be role model for other people around the world , and I WOULD SAY we will develop you as long as you turn up each day as you'll end up being role model for many other people ....its about raising and maintaining standards with a fantastic set of values, its called a ripple affect.... and remember our standard is to be a fantastic human being.... As that's the standards... the added value for me is all my life I HAVE INDUCTED PEOPLE INTO BUSINESS UNDER A 16 WEEK INDUCTION ACADEMY USING ROLE MODELS AS PART OF DISCOVERING YOUR OWN HUAMN POTENTIAL.. WHO AM I ? WHO ARE YOU ? WHO WILL I BECOME ? WHO CAN I BECOME ? WITH ROLE MODELS WHO CAN I REALLY BECOME NOW? Loved this vide Gary Neville

I think this is a fantastic statement for two reasons: 1) People can often spend a lot of time questioning their ability to do the role especially during transition “imposter syndrome” happens because of many reasons but self doubt can be one of them. 2) It reinforces the mutual commitment between leader/team member to get the best out of them. This requires effort from both not just one side. You were recruited because of what we have seen in you, now commit to it and WE will get the best out of you by committing to the role & our commitment to developing you! Consistency is equally important to the two above but i consider this a given, and the other points often get missed! Not often you’ll get me reposting Gary Neville but when he’s right he’s right!!!!

Love this and so true in any organisation. Management is all about giving confidence to the people you’ve chosen to work with, to maximise their happiness and performance through support, guidance and motivation. #management #motivation #support

Consistency is the key in any business

Great to see this research. Sport really can be a leader in society to help build cultural competence, social cohesion through our common love for sport. Although this uses the example of football, it can apply in other settings. I have the privilege of being involved at Edinburgh South Cricket Club, where the club's membership includes 17 different nationalities, with a diverse range of ethnicities, religions, cultural identities and beliefs - but one common thing unites us, a shared love of cricket. Cricket is a game that requires people to spend vast amounts of time together on the field, working through situations together as a team to achieve a result. Through simply being around many others with different cultural experiences and identities, I've learnt so much. Most importantly, we've embraced the multiple cultural identities and beliefs as our strength, finding space to learn about and support each other. Less 'integration into a culture' and more 'evolution of our culture together'. Sport really can be a leader in society for bringing people together. Do you have a great example from your own club or sport? Feel free to share on our Equity Coach page!

Really interesting how the Peroni logo is driver facing and optimized for the halo camera--meaning it would be likelier to be seen more by the viewer and positioned for their pleasure, as well as the copious replays. Wondering why other sponsors don't consider the swap especially when we consider the rate of utilization of the in track cameras vs the halo or tv pod cameras. I get going for looks, but outside of seeing the car at a launch or in person, wouldn't it make more sense or a company to optimize for the tv viewer as they would be the sponsor's primary viewer via replays etc?

march 9, 2024. Mental health? this is an interesting video it could’ve been staged. It appears to be a rugby match in Scotland or Ireland or something like that because they got the green. There is a myth of the black Irish, there’s also a myth of the culture that was dominated by “woman”. Created by taking a rib DNA from the man - to give birth life and happiness to the creator. The age a story of the chicken and the egg who came first? Now, that doesn’t mean that traditional roles weren’t still handled. Biologically “we” deliver babies and then go hunt food. Men deliver the sperm which are generated unlimited quantities often to age 70 or more. Women are born with a certain number of eggs. We know that because they run out. So during the life of the man, we are imprinted with life experiences, and this is going to go directly end of the DNA of that sperm so many ways it is man that is the renewer of life because we can change the course of the future by the. it’s that we create while we’re living. This cannot happen with a woman so the idea of freezing sperm is is pretty pathetic. But mentally - Men and Women do not fit in those neat and tidy boxes, and in this particular case, you have a Male on the left, and what appears to be a happy go lucky Male on the right. Green Bay Packers QB - A. Rodgers… the finest ball handler that is under recognized. whenever there is an alpha, there’s an omega so there’s another quarterback that’s probably just as good is Aaron Rodgers. Is it to boyfriends watching a football match? Are they mates? And then what is the story of Jesus Christ? Not too many versions of this man being the stone statue, big arms, strongman - classical Roman Statue - Aryan and Atheist Greek God - Titan, Hercules, and other mythical figures of the past. The man on the left probably he’s unhappy that he doesn’t have a woman and the man on the right who knows? He seemed to lift a pretty good life. Maybe you just drank too much is a ball game and then crashed his car. So why do we want to limit this to some sort of discussion on “mental health”? The story of Jesus Christ is about rebirth, which we do not understand. The man on the right may be reincarnated in the man on the left we don’t know we really don’t know. To give the struggling man on the left something to think about.
