What I do know is that to motivate professional athletes to be ready to play is absolutely no part of his job description.
I am equally stunned that you believe this to be true, and that you seem to believe that leadership and emotion are essentially ‘fairytales’. And if pro sports teams refuse to believe that there is a benefit gained by having a coach who is skilled in these types of human factors, then there is a tremendous opportunity for a competitive advantage to be gained.

Of course I am sure that isn’t the case, but it’s cool to see that some people think it is.
