Giampaolo case-study: is it useful to fire the Torino coach?

Research has used data from Serie A from 2007-2008 to 2016-2017 seasons analyzing team performance after a coaching change [Argentieri, Canova, & Manera, 2019].

The results are consistent with the available literature and emerges that coach replacement is not useful in influencing team performance and, therefore, has no significant effect on team outcomes. No significant long-term impact of coach change is shown. In those cases where a positive impact of turnover was found this occurred only in the very short term, primarily driven by an increase in player motivation and commitment determined by the emotional shock brought about by the change, thus contributing to a streak of positive results. Over time, however, this effect disappears and, in fact, turns out to be negative. These data are similar to those highlighted in relation to coach change in basketball (NBA), English soccer and ice hockey (NHL).

However, some considerations arise from professional experience and relate to the following points.

  • Teams that change coaches frequently are not successful teams and this negative outcome would be fostered by too frequent turnover.
  • Possible real incompetence of the coach and, therefore, the team’s failures are determined by the insufficient competence of the coach.
  • The coach has been sacrificed as a scapegoat, other are the causes that have determined the conflicts and, in this way, the managers of the sports club, putting the blame on the coach, the easiest method to solve the problems of the team.

Do like in Manchester to win terrorismo fear

The events of recent weeks have driven us to be afraid to go to the public events or take a trip to London but the response should not be to close inside home but to do as in Manchester, 50,000 people together again to say that we trust and believe in freedom. We live in a present dilated at global dimension. Whatever happens somewhere in the world we immediately know, from bombs in Kabul, the attack in London until the panic of the crowd in Turin. They are different stories but linked by the information; we are constantly overwhelmed in real time. This continuous whirl of news has made smaller the world in our perception, because this instant sharing reduces geographical distances and stimulates us to feel in danger. The attacks want to achieve this goal by hitting our lifestyle, the freedom to walk freely in the streets, going to concerts, having fun, going to a game or see it in a square. The speed of information is an additional weapon used by the terrorists, as we know all the while after that happened, without being prepared to mitigate the backlash on our minds. To not feel crushed by the weight of these news and insecurity that can generate, we must then learn to reassure ourselves and who lives with us. In fact, there is no ready way to respond to these tragedies and fears that we seek, we have to keep doing what we’ve always done. Sports and music can help, because they are passion shared and meet in deep the desire to be together. They represent, therefore, an antidote to the unspoken tension lived under skin, which accumulates every day if not melted in the practice of interests that unite, feeling shared emotions and which enrich our existence. We must continue to spread the culture in all its forms from sports to music and art. As individuals we are the keepers of our culture, that we must be able to demonstrate freely, don’t forget it when we’ll we have the doubt to go to a game, to participate in a race or allow our sons to go to a concert.

Juve-Toro: the relevance of the trivial mistakes that change the results

Juve-Toro, at the end the result came from two details occurred in the last minute of the match: Benassi, Torino player, losesa  contrast with Bonucci and Pirlo scores a goal. Today the journalist Gianni Mura wrote: “It was enough to throw it out, the ball. Instead it is Pirlo to throw it inside.”  The history follows simple but cruel rules. A trivial mistakes determines a unique situation, we are just few seconds from the end, and the champion takes full advantage. This is the soccer, the same incident had happened a few days before when Roma lost game against CSKA. The problem is not having lost a ball, but have lost it a few seconds from the end, when in fact the player have to hold it at any cost or send it out, just to prevent the re-start of the opponents, in particular against Juventus a team fighting for every ball until the last instant and with players who can change in an instant the result. Do not remember this from the young Benassi, and a total of the whole team, is a serious mental error, because of the effect it may determine. Each game is made up of moments like these, the players must learn to recognize them and act so as not to damage their own team or to use it to change the outcome.
