The Power of Persistence Life is full of challenges and setbacks that often make us feel like giving up. But in these moments, it’s crucial to remember that persistence can change the course of any struggle. Just like in football, where the outcome of a match is never certain until the final whistle blows, our journey in life is defined by our determination to keep pushing forward, even when the odds seem stacked against us. Consider a match between two giants of football: Manchester United and Chelsea. Manchester United, with all its history and glory, was expected to win. But Chelsea, facing a tough opponent, didn’t let that expectation dictate the result. Instead, they fought back with everything they had, showing that the game is never over until it’s over. Through sheer willpower and relentless effort, Chelsea managed to hold off their rivals, proving that resilience is a force to be reckoned with. This match serves as a powerful reminder that victory doesn’t always go to the strongest or the most skilled, but to those who refuse to give up. In life, just like in football, you may face opponents stronger than you, challenges tougher than you imagined, and moments where defeat seems inevitable. But remember, the final outcome isn’t decided until you stop trying. So, whenever you feel like giving up, think of that match. Think of how Chelsea didn’t let the odds determine their fate. They didn’t win simply because they were the better team on paper—they won because they refused to give up. And that’s a lesson we can all take to heart. In your own life, be like Chelsea. No matter how difficult the situation, no matter how strong the opposition, keep fighting. Because the only time you truly lose is when you stop trying. Keep going, and you’ll find that the game can change in your favor at any moment

#What #is #Gareth #Southgate's #legacy #as #he #steps #down #as #England #manager? – #video. Guardian journalist Barney Ronay explains what Gareth Southgate's legacy will be as he steps down as England manager after eight years in the role. Southgate led England to two finals, a quarter-final and a semi-final and is arguably one of the most successful managers the team has had. Support by fans took a 'dark turn' however when success became 'expected as a default' and some took umbrage at his politics once England began taking the knee. Due to this Southgate faced serious scrutiny and his legacy of success will be entwined with the criticism he received. What is Gareth Southgate's legacy as he steps down as England manager? – video. England fans may come to regret Southgate’s exit, claims Tom Heaton Manchester United goalkeeper was coach at Euro 2024. ‘He’s changed the feel of it. MChanged the expectation’ Jamie Jackson in Los Angeles Tom Heaton believes some fans may regret Gareth Southgate’s resignation, with the goalkeeper who was part of the coaching staff at Euro 2024 stating that people may come to regard the outgoing England manager as having done an “incredible job”. In eight years in charge, Southgate led England to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the quarter-finals four years later, and to the finals of Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. Yet uneven form at the last of these caused a sizeable constituency of supporters to vent their ire, with Southgate drawing particularly fierce abuse. Two days after England’s 2-1 defeat by Spain, Southgate announced his resignation. The Manchester United keeper was asked if some fans may come to rue this. “I really do. If you think back to [England’s] track record, I think he’s changed the feel of it,” Heaton said. “We were all sort of excited to watch the games. We were performing well. Changed the expectation. I think we will come [to look] back to sort of go, ‘incredible job’.” Heaton said the squad wanted Southgate to stay. “That would be the case,” he said. “It is very rare in football you get a squad of players, the ones who aren’t playing, especially the ones used to playing every week, that every single person there wants to win it, they want to win it for the manager, he is a leader you want to follow. I think that would be the mentality. That’s how I feel, you want to win it for him because of what he’s done.” Heaton, who is United’s third-choice goalkeeper, signed a new one-year contract this month. “To be brutally honest, it has always been a massive driver to play. I had a couple of discussions with a few other people, but to be true to myself, it didn’t feel right,” he said. “The gut didn’t feel right. I’ve still got a big hunger to play. But I am hoping there are going to be opportunities to play. I wouldn’t sign if I didn’t think I was capable of delivering that.” Metin Tilki MBA

Chelsea versus Aston Manor: Conflict of Titans In the domain of English football, scarcely any installations work up as much expectation and fervor as a conflict among Chelsea and Aston Manor.

I believe Tuchel to be a top coach, not quite elite yet, but top enough to be around for the next twenty years. What he had achieved with Dortmund and then Chelsea were remarkable by their standards. To this end, he was rewarded with a role at the Allianz Arena. Alas, the Bayern job would always remain a pickle. It's no surprise the pressure is mounting on him. Imagine trailing and then subsequently losing to an untested Xabi Alonso and boys? Must be embarrassing after your big Harry Kane signing! But what's more embarrassing is this statement from him, one where he highlighted that the match was lost when the players lost all self-beliefs, which he then attributed to as the cause of their errors. In this response, Tuchel broadly mentioned self-belief and concentration. Both psychological constructs are difficult to measure and track but yet so essential for high performance. When the belief is gone, players stop their engines. They lose all drive to try. When concentration is gone, neither flesh nor mind is willing at that point. It would be an interesting last third of the season for Bayern (and also to follow where Tuchel would be headed to next) - just to see how they can navigate their abysmal football results with proper mental skills training in a bid to pick themselves up and do justice to their potential (collectively as a team should be performing miles better than this). #psychologicalskills #sportpsychology #GTsnippets

#GullytoGlory Jamie Vardy's Unlikely Rise to Stardom 🌟 Imagine a regular guy, Jamie Vardy, working odd jobs and playing in the lower leagues, dreaming big but seemingly far from the glitz of the Premier League.

They both want to win at all costs

When Ole Gunnar Solksjaer had an opportunity to dip his feet in the Transfer Market he made it a point to acquire British Players. He signed Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Dan James, and Jadon Sancho. Eric Ten Haag has continued that tradition of Familiarity Bias by signing Antony, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Andre Onana, and Christian Eriksen (Kind Of). This approach speaks to several things. One, why is United persisting with the Manager Model when they don't have Managers who can fulfill the complexities of Coaching and General Management. Two, Should the Recruitment Team's Process revolve around the short-term nature of Football Management, or should there be a larger more robust process. Three, United seem to be Acquiring Assets as opposed to Building a Team. Is that approach durable? #EPL #ManchesterUnited #TeamBuilding

There's a lesson we can all learn from Aston Villa Football Club manager Unai Emery in his response to their 3-2 defeat against Manchester United in December👇. ⚽ Having had a 2-0 lead, Villa had lost after a strong second-half display from United. Defeat meant they lay in 3rd place, one point off leaders Arsenal and second-placed Liverpool. ❌ "What went wrong?" asked the Amazon Prime Video presenter in his opening question. "Good evening. 39 points. It's amazing." responded Emery. Watch the clip here: https://lnkd.in/e8kKkTPH 😬 A number of media outlets branded it an "awkward answer" and that he subsequently "reluctantly address[ed] the defeat" (e.g. The Daily Mail: https://lnkd.in/e2kdATBG) 🤔 But does this take on his response say more about them/us than it does about Emery? 😐 In psychology, there is a behaviour known as the hedonic treadmill. It is the observed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes. 😫 According to this theory, as you achieve more you adapt to it and so expectations and desires rise in tandem, which results in no permanent gain in happiness (and can also lead to depression). 😮 No one expected Villa to be in this position. Prior to finishing 7th last season, they finished 14th, 11th, and 17th. But their good sustained form has increased expectations in most, perhaps unrealistically. 🖼 Emery was able to focus on the bigger picture, on where they are now versus where they thought they may be. Yes, they lost. But it is a minor setback in what has been a hugely positive season so far. 🤗 As the leader, Emery's perspective not only impacts his own mood but that of his whole team. Putting things in perspective will help align expectations, ease pressure, and enhance morale. 🙋♂️ Looking ahead to 2024 this is something I need to remind myself of as a business owner. It's easy to get caught up in the details/day-to-day and not see the broader progress. It seems others are struggling with that too. ---------------------- 💥 My name is Malph. 🆘 Helping brands to use sponsorship to deliver marketing objectives. 🤝 Supporting rights holders to build valuable partnerships.

Insight - Euro 2024 - For England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 it should be all about each player from the Squad and the management team. We back the team and the managers selection. We need to move away from what our thoughts and processes are (there’s a time after the final for that). Rival fans are at each other to why their man should be starting or how their man won it for England. There is the age old and very boring rendition of Harry Kane and his place in the team. Gareth must know what he’s doing to reach a second consecutive Euro final - never ever happened for us and now it has we are getting the ‘he’s lucky.’ At this level, you have to be elite to get two consecutive finals, you have to be elite to going behind and scoring to come back, you have to be elite to make changes after a defence has been run around to bring on a direct forward running into channels. This isn’t luck, it’s Southgate. What was clear was the resilience and team spirit when Watkins scored because it showed me they all want it together and that’s what matters most. #mindset #apply #perform
