1moTeams that prioritize immediate results are often quick to change their head coach. However, experience, observations, and research have shown that achieving success depends on many factors—one of which might be the coach, who could indeed be among the most important. In my opinion, the overall structure of a sports organization and its long-term policies play a crucial role in consistently achieving desired outcomes over the long run. A quick coaching change can act like a painkiller, providing only a short-term motivational boost. For teams to get the best results from a new coach, it’s better to allow time for the coach and players to adapt. This way, the coach can implement their plans with less stress and pressure, ultimately leading to more sustainable success.
