"IF IT'S OUR DESIRE TO TRIUMPH IN FOOTBALL, WE HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR NEW HIGHWAYS OF SUCCESS INSTEAD OF USING ALWAYS THE OLD BUMPY ROADS OF THE PAST VICTORIES. A MAJOR OBSTACLE FOR THE PROGRESS OF FOOTBALL IS THE FORCE OF HABIT. BECAUSE OF SLUGGISHNESS MOST OF THE TEACHERS/COACHES CONTINUE WITH THEIR OLD HABITS WITHOUT THINKING SUFFICIENTLY ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE PRACTISING WITH THEIR PUPILS"

15. Denis O’Grady - Psychologist
Fear of the Unknown—The unspoken message from society says that when change occurs, you will lose control.
Fear of Failure—If I commit myself to goals for change, there is a chance for failure.
Fear of Commitment—Commitment forces an answer to tough questions. "What do I really want?" Commitment to one option is not always fun because it eliminates other options.
Fear of Disapproval—If I change, I risk having people say they like me better the way I was. Your own change also forces others to change in relationship to you.
Fear of Success—If I change, what other demands will be make of me? Can I sustain this success?

28. CRITICAL NON ESSENTIALS THAT WOULD SET
“THE AREA OF IMMENSE INTEREST TO ME WAS THE
IMPORTANCE OF DETAIL, NOT JUST ANY KIND OF
DETAIL BUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THINGS THAT
WOULD AND COULD SET US APART FROM ANY
OTHER TEAM IN THE WORLD: WE HAD TO ASSUME
THAT OUR MAIN COMPETITORS WOULD ALSO HAVE
THE SAME QUALITY OF PLAYERS, THE SAME
RESOURCES AND THE SAME STANDARD OF
COACHING. IF WE ACCEPTED THAT THEN TO BE
EVEN BETTER WE HAD TO DO EVERYTHING IN OUR
POWER TO FIND HUNDREDS OF IMPROVEMENTS OR
CRITICAL NON ESSENTIALS THAT WOULD SET
US APART FROM OUR RIVALS.”
