Do you have any experience with creating a winning culture? I just read this very insightful paper, on what highly successful coaches did when faced with a surprisingly low-performing season, as I wondered how to establish a desirable culture within a team? Critical reflection, communication, clear guidelines for orientation and focusing on the basics are just some of the major issues highlighted here. My question is: do you have a winning culture within your team? Did you actively develop it (or take measures to support such a culture? Or was it something you've found when arriving at your club? I´d love to hear your thoughts on this!

📌 While I started preparing for the upcoming season, I realized that all my (and thus my team's efforts) would be directed at getting the best shots, while forcing the opponents to take the worst/none at all - which is pretty obvious, I admit. I then had the idea to translate all/most shots into a tier system, categorizing them, which eventually led to me creating an excel sheet that would give out expected-goal values for every shot, giving me the opportunity to analyze a game statistically and free from biases. The results provided me with insights I hadn't realized in-game. For example, I thought we played great defense throughout the first half, but the xG didn't show the same - the reason being: we defended well for most parts, but managed to concede great shots late in our opponent's attack - something I worked on during training afterwards. I would love to exchange about the topic: - Have you experimented with xG before? - How would you categorize shots? - What do you think it could be used for? etc.

I was lucky enough to hear a talk from neurologist Dr. Wolfgang Lalouschek about the structure of the human brain in regards to happiness, stress, dopamine, goal setting and achievement and how all of that can be useful for humans, organizations and leadership. One of his main insights/theses showed that a (healthy) dopamine release works in three steps: 1) Goal formulation and the desire for achievement 2) The efforts themselves to work towards that goal 3) The (immediate) experience of success/process made Such insights - as well as the single-tasking anatomy of the brain or reasons for stress - can be very much applied to player motivation, practice structure and leadership/coaching, at least in my opinion. Do some of you have experience with neuroscience/psychology in coaching? Hoping for a great discussion :)
