The key highlights of this interview were

  • His insights in creating a suit of armour to protect yourself against self-doubt by doing the hard work in training and preparation, 
  • Getting the very best out of his players to execute consistently under pressure 
  • and, after so many years of elite coaching he can still be surprised by the high levels of self-awareness in his playing group.
