The Confidence Coach's Sports Psychology Reports
Sports Psychology Report - The Brain Of The Perfect Football Manager
8: The Communicator
In the presence of the communicator, others listen and trust what they hear. The communicator is an excellent man-manager, who knows how to bring the best out of each and every player with the right words, said at the right time, in the right way, for the right reason. This is a value for money coach with value for money players.
The Manager: Martin O'Neill
One of O'Neill's great strengths is to recruit players who might feel that their talents have not been fully recognised at their present clubs, and are therefore keen to demonstrate their worth. He recognises that one of the most powerful motivating forces is the desire to prove someone wrong. Chris Sutton and Neil Lennon were good exmaples of this at Celtic, and it was true for the whole club when he was at Leicester.
O'Neill lifts the player by telling them how much he values them. To the team he is renowned for putting his uncomplicated message across simply, with passion, so the players, and those observing his touchline antics, know exactly what is expected.
