What. A. Game.
After 120+ minutes, England beat Denmark in the semi-finals of Euro 2020 this week. The last time this happened was on 26th July 1966.
1966!
Even my parents were only young children in 1966!
So, why now?
?England have a plethora of fantastic players over the last 55 years, so what makes this team the team to do what no other has been able to do since 1966?
Teamwork and leadership.
Let’s start with the leader.
Here are just a few adjectives I've heard to describe Gareth Southgate:
?And what makes him a great leader, is his ability to instil these values and qualities into his team. There appears to be no player with an ego bigger than the rest. They all challenge each other and support each other, and they drive to the same goal (both metaphorical and physical!)
Personally, I have no time for dictatorial, aggressive and unsupportive leadership. It's not productive, and it's not fair to those looking for leadership and direction.
So, in order to drive your team towards the goal, think about your own behaviour as a leader, and channel your inner Gareth Southgate!
