Thank you for that Kyle!

That’s exactly what happened to me after speaking with the various named and unnamed people who helped me write that book! Up to all sorts of hours!

I’ve since found out that if you can find the right information that it’s cycle that doesn’t seem to stop! I recently became obsessed with the All Blacks training methods and team building tools. There’s a book called Legacy by James Kerr that delves into the team building and touches on other aspects – then a book called Developing Decision Makers: an Empowerment Approach that puts their training methodology in the spot light and theorises it all and then lastly a book called ‘Six Thinking Hates’ by E.d.Bono that looks at this concept of having different ways of thinking – the new zealand team talk a lot about using their ‘clue hat’ – rather than the ‘red hat’. Bono talks about the red hat being the part of your thought process that deals with emotions and loses clarity etc etc. All of that coupled with Roberto Martinez’s methods and the ‘learned helplessness video’ that driven me into a new direction as a coach in recent times and I’ve been experimenting with new coaching methods to see if I can get players to think they’ve taken ownership of the ideas that I’ve actually manipulated and shaped through the session etc. You can see from this paragraph how a few books can completely take over for a while so I can emphasise where you’re coming from!

I hope all goes well and you’ve found the videos on here in the members (and those that will come) extremely useful!

Jed. I recently read your book, and I admire the work that went in to it. The process of original research and the ability to follow where it leads while also maintaining a deliberate focus on the questions you want to answer is difficult but hugely rewarding.

I have a question about a statement you made in a reply on this post. Here is your quote, “I’ve been experimenting with new coaching methods to see if I can get players to think they’ve taken ownership of the ideas that I’ve actually manipulated and shaped through the session etc.” I was wondering if you can clarify what you mean here. I’m trying to understand if these methods are designed to manipulate and shape the players into thinking they’ve come up with the ideas, convince and refine ideas in a way that the players can understand them, take ownership of them, and then implement them, or something else completely.

Just scanning through the comments and saw this. If you have time/desire I’d be interested to see what you’re getting at.

Thanks.
