Successful sports coaches have some things in common, researchers from McGill University and the University of Queensland in Australia found. Notably, they engage in post-season introspection, focus on creating a good team culture and include their athletes in finding solutions to problems.
The researchers looked at the experiences of Canadian university-level head coaches of sports teams who had been at that level for at least 15 years and had records of success, including having won championships, but who then experienced a poor season.
