Blog 20 Exit Interview

1) My EQ is " How can a coach best lead his a team to a championship season.
My answers are

  • A coach can maximize their potential to win by implementing the formation that gives their team the greatest advantage over their opponent.
  • A coach can maximize their chances of winning by teaching his players injury prevention tactics, to maintain a strong starting lineup.
  • A coach can increase his chances in securing a win, by knowing how and when to modify his team.
My best answer is " A coach can maximize their chances of winning by teaching his players injury prevention tactics, to maintain a strong starting line up." This is my best answer because if a coach does not start a game with his best players, he is giving his opponents an advantage.

2) I got to this answer after I started looking for my second answer. I started to research the diets that professional coaches make their players follow. I then started to notice that the purpose of these diets were to keep the players at their top level. Once i learned this I started to think about how useless all that work is if the player gets injured. This started to seem like a better answer because as a soccer fan, I get frustrated when key players get injured, so I can imagine that coaches feel worse. I then consulted my mentor and he agreed with me. He then told me all he knows about injury prevention tactics.

3) A major problem that I faced was finding quality articles that could support this answer. I had to ask my mentor for specific tactics that then helped me actually find articles.

4) The most significant source I have is my mentor Lorenzo Raya. He is the most significant because dirty tactics are frowned upon so there are not that many books/ articles that go in depth with them, and he an open minded coach so he is willing to include them in his style of play. Also he has explained to me that most tactics are learned through experience. My other source would have to be "The Uglier Side of the Beautiful Game" on the bleacher report website. This article explains some dirty tactics that the professionals use.
