You're managing a sports team. How can you make the best decisions for your players?

Ask yourself these questions: What is your goal? What do you want to accomplish with the decision you are about to make. Every decision is made in a certain context which includes constraints. It could be your budget, the rules of the league, or the abilities and well-being of your players. What obstacles could hinder the achievement of your goal? If the goal is to integrate a new athlete into the team, challenges could include integration into the existing team or necessary tactical adjustments. Before making a decision, know how you will evaluate its success. Your decisions must align with the team's long-term vision. If adding a star player compromises the long-term development of young talent, is it really the right decision?

Here's how you can approach it: - Understand the players: analyze each player's strengths, weakness, aspirations, concerns - Use Data analytics: leverage data to make informed decisions regarding trainings, game strategies and player health - Focus on player development: invest in the continuous development of your players, both in the sporting capabilities and personal growth - Set clear goals and expectations: clearly articulate your expectations and the team's goals - Lead by example: demonstrate the values, work ethic, and attitude you expect from your team

Identifying the Problem: - Determine specific challenges facing the team, such as offensive struggles, defensive lapses, or injuries to key players.

Work with an evident-based approach. Every decision has to be taken for a reason and your team members have the right to understand WHAT, WHY and HOW they have to do.
