The Psychology Behind Championship Teams (Rep.011)

Episode 11. Office is a mess, life is crazy, but it's been awesome. Talking about athlete identity and why coaches who care about players as humans win more. There's a study showing coaches who ask about home life and relationships get better performance because players feel valued beyond the pitch. Saw this at Flower City. 2022 we were dead last. 2023 new coach Jordy cared about us as people first. Created massive buy in. Barely made playoffs as sixth seed then won the whole thing. The lesson: give a shit about your teammates as humans before you care about their performance. Absolutely pumped for the upcoming studio redesign!
