England analysis vs Denmark In my opinion, we need to be more aggressive off the ball. Here is why: 6/10 outfield players that start for England play a pressing system within their Premier League club. Key principles: ✅ Triggers ✅ Trapping the opposition on one side of the pitch ✅ Denying switches ✅ Pressing to regain possession ✅ Remaining compact within 3/5 lanes in relation to the ball #Football #Euros #England #Analysis #Footballcoach

Championing a Winning Culture in Football During my time working with Ange Postecoglou at club level, where we clinched back-to-back national titles, Ange fostered a culture of unwavering excellence. He expected commitment to a winning mentality from everyone involved—be it players, staff, board members, fans, sponsors, or support personnel. This ethos promotes a positive, forward-thinking environment that propels everyone toward an ultimate collective goal of supreme success. Yet, this drive contrasts starkly with instances in recent days at Spurs where fans preferred their team to lose to prevent a rival, like Arsenal, from winning the title. Choosing this over maintaining hopes for a Champions League spot not only undermines a winning culture but also highlights a deeper systemic issue at Spurs. A genuine passion for football should encourage striving for victory in every match, elevating the club's ambitions rather than compromising them. Ange’s reaction is very typical and understandable. He wants to be surrounded by winners who don’t compromise on the bigger picture. #FootballCulture #WinningMentality

A really interesting and useful article from James Cairney on the considerations for Hearts when selecting the squad for Europe and the importance of promoting and bringing through players from the academy. https://lnkd.in/eANpvaJJ
Love this interview. Positive reinforcement of the environment that all clubs, every sport, should be striving to create within their teams. “There are no dumb questions …. Right?” Also where he talks about the front office recruiting the type of player that wants to learn. Has desire to get better. If a coach can surround him or herself with like-minded coaches and players it creates a really impressive group of individuals who all buy in to the same philosophy ……. “What do we need to do to be successful?” Then plan the work and work the plan.

A Supportive Environment in the National Football League (NFL) Great to hear Los Angeles Rams player, Cooper Kupp, reflecting on the supportive environment at the Rams, in which he was supported as rookie, and now offers that support to other rookies. Kupp also talks about the character of the players, and this emphasises the importance of recruitment, something I have posted about before with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club head coach, Ange Postecoglou: https://lnkd.in/eZ36rNk6 A great example on what happens when players are encouraged to support each other.
#thoughtleadership - Is best always... BEST? Often we see in team sports the better players in their position rise to the top and represent their club 1st teams. 🤔 Are the best club players... the best National team players? We have seen in Englands mens #rugby #rugbyunion #football that this isn't always the case! Pundits (often former players) and fans alike have a great understanding of their chosen sport.. yet to hear managers profess they are pleased with at best lacklustre performances understandably grates and generates reaction. Q - At what point does management need to step back and recognise lacking performances are an issue. • Its great to win competition group stages yet we need to also recognise easier groups and favourable pathways... and manage expectations. The same parallels exist in business. You can only relay visions and expectations... then it's up to everyone to play their part in achieving the desired outcomes. #besafe #ceos #leadership #business #strategy #riskmanagement #journalism #europeanunion #europeanparliament #personaldevelopment #UN #NATO European Leadership European Commission Skynewsuk.com The Guardian ITV Studios ITV #travel #health #nhs #tourism #hospitality #aviation https://lnkd.in/euEsBGNm
